WINE PROFILE

> Corte Cariano, our first Single-Varietal wine, an unusual expression of Corvina Veronese in its purity. Dark ruby red, on the nose it expresses rich and fruity notes, enriched with spicy hints of vanilla, black pepper and licorice. On the palate, it is rich and delicate at the same time, smooth and balanced. A certain freshness in fact outlines the trait up to a closure of impeccable persistence.

TASTING NOTES

Corte Cariano displays a deep ruby red color and scents of berry fruits such as blackberries and redcurrants as well as cherries; these notes combine with well-integrated spicy hints deriving from its maturation in wood. Its fruit is soft and rounded on the palate, and balanced by attractive, velvety tannins. Its finish is long and extremely satisfying, without being overly intense: it merely invites one to take another delicious sip.
