Our grapes ...
CORVINA
It is the most important species of vine especially as far as the production of the Amarone and the Recioto wines is concerned. It is well appreciated for its strong coloring power, for its concentration and for its great degree of adaptation to the withering phase. The grape cluster is medium-sized, pyramid-like with a visible wing that is longer than the other. The berries are spherical, pruinose, not too large, with few seeds and of a blue and purple color.
It brings the wine body, aroma and a delicate bouquet.

RONDINELLA
It represents the ideal species of vine for the production of Recioto wine, thanks to its sugary degree and to its natural aromatic vocation. It shows great resistance against disease, insects and drought. The grape cluster is cylindrical in shape and averagely compact. The berries are of a black-purple color.
Above all, it brings the wine color, but also a refined bouquet.

MOLINARA
It is a delicate species of vine, of a transparent color. The grape cluster is not very compact, cylindrical in shape and with two clear wings. It shows good resistance against disease and rather late ripening.
It brings the wine an unmistakable slightly bitter flavor and richness in total acidity.
