Ruby red wine with aubergine peel reflections. From the frank, clear scent, which is articulated in many sensations among which we recognize: the small fruits of the undergrowth such as raspberries, blackberries, ripe fruit (cherries and plums), and delicious notes of tobacco. In the mouth it reveals a clear, harmonious, extracted wine and tannins make it very full. It closes with great complexity revealing soft, salty, fragrant and spicy. It goes well with red meats: stewed roast, ideal pairing with dark meat poultry such as guinea fowl, pigeons, ducks, geese.

Geographical location of the vineyard: in the Rodel Pianezzi locality at 500 m asl with South-West exposure, a somewhat windy position due to the influence of the Ora del Garda (wind that originates from the nearby large lake).
