Notes
-----
The color is a lovely dark beet red. The nose is a nice,
fruity scent with raspberry, mint, leather, and a light
medicinal smell, like Vicks Vap-O-Rub or mimeograph fluid.
The flavor is good, full and fruity, but not too flashy,
with a hint of bitterness from the Amarone.

Production Notes
----------------
80% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 10% Sangiovese. The
production of this wine is strictly related to that of
Amarone: after Amarone is finished fermenting, the pomace of
the dried grapes used to produce it is joined with the
Valpolicella fermented just after the October harvest. This
second fermentation raises the alcohol and gives the wine
deeper colour, richer body and aromas. After bottle-ageing,
it is ready to be enjoyed.
