The Story
A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a bright, elegant ruby color with subtle garnet tinges along the rim. Sourced from the high-altitude, terraced Ca' Morei vineyard situated 550 meters above sea level in the Valgella subzone, this mountain expression opens with an incredibly fragrant bouquet of dried rose petals, wild alpine strawberries, and sour red cherries. The complex nose is beautifully layered with distinctive regional notes of crushed granite minerals, slate, white pepper, licorice root, and a subtle touch of medicinal herbs. On the palate, it balances a energetic, medium-bodied red fruit core and a racy, linear mountain acidity with firm, chalky, and tightly woven tannins, concluding in a remarkably persistent, savory, and mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with pan-seared duck breast, roasted mushroom risottos, slow-cooked veal shanks, and local bresaola or semi-aged Alpine cheeses.
