Millefiori

Corvina and Merlot grapes, grown in low-yielding vineyards near the town of San Pietro in Cariano in the province of Verona, come together to produce this full-bodied and succulent wine. The Corvina grapes go through a rare winemaking technique called APPASSIMENTO, where by the picked grapes are placed in small wooden crates of 5 kg each. The crates are then placed in the “fruttaio,” a well-aerated loft, and are left there to dry at a control temperature and humidity until December. During this “appassimento” the grapes will lose up to 50% of their original weight in water.

This “drying process” will concentrate their color, substance and aromas.
The wine has a lovely and intense ruby-red color with a bouquet reminiscent of cherries, dried fruit, chocolate  and prunes. On the palate it is full-bodied, soft and round, with a pleasant spiciness and an amazingly long and lingering finish.
