Bright ruby red colour. The nose reveals notes of raspberries, currants and small red fruits accompanied by a delicate hint of spice and medicinal herbs, creating a perfectly layered bouquet. The palate is full and fresh, with perfectly integrated acidity. The minerality and acidity, derived from the calcareous soil, make it lively with extraordinary length and persistence.

Tasting Notes
Why we like it
The best grapes are harvested by hand exclusively in the ‘Prea’ vineyard, which covers approximately 7.09 hectares. Given the high altitude of the vineyard, between 560 and 610 metres above sea level, and the significant temperature variations between day and night, harvesting continues until late October. The name of the vineyard, meaning “stone” in the Veronese dialect, derives from the marl-limestone soil, which is particularly rich in Cretaceous skeleton. The grapes are crushed and destemmed, then fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks at 18-20°C. The wine is aged for two years in concrete and large barrels, followed by a further six months of ageing in the bottle.
Pairings
Its minerality and acidity make it ideal for pairing with elaborate dishes such as game, but also with first courses. Like its white counterpart, it is also worth trying with oriental dishes, which favour savoury and mineral wines.
