The vineyard called 'Corvara' is situated in the southern part of the Val d'Adige, which borders on Valpolicella. This wine is faithful to the technical tradition of blending it with dried-grape (or passito) wine, something still practiced by the old families of the valley. It is compoukd of corvina passita, merlot and marzemino, creating a true balance of strength and elegance. This is a wine destined to be aged for a long time, and we only produce 6,000 bottles.
