DESCRIPTION
The grapes for this exquisitely full, fragrant, dark red wine grow on a dolomite bedrock. It includes three red varieties, which grow on rocky and barren ground. The vines bear very small loads - each vine yielding no more than one bottle. It is a demanding wine, and therefore we recommend it served with selected dishes based on red meat.
