{organic} Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, Merlot
BALSAMIC CHERRY, AUTUMNAL SPICE & LEATHER
Grown in proximity to Lake Garda and two mountain ranges, this cuvée expresses the quintessential cherry, deep spice, and cracked peppercorn perkiness of Corvina blends. The clay and limestone-based soil provides a low-acid, high-nutrient, well-drained home for optimal vibrance. The Guerrieri family have cultivated this land since the 1400s, evolving it into an eco winery circa 2011.
Serving Suggestion: Chicken Xacuti w/ coconut rice. Neapolitan pizza w/ truffle oil, micro-planed parm, crushed pistachios & shaved poached pear.
