This prestigious and famous blend is composed by 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 10% of other grapes. The vineyards are located in the traditional area of Valpolicella, on the hills of Negrar, in Torbe, where the elevation of the lands reaches 420 meters above the sea level. The harvest is planned at the beginning of October and it is managed manually. The stalks are eliminated and the pressing starts. The fermentation temperature is set on 25-28°C and the maceration lasts 10 days.
