The blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella comes from the vineyard of the same name, a site that has been considered one of the region's most exceptional terroirs for decades. Here, structure, elegance, and complexity have fused together to create a wine that has since achieved cult status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"620\" data-start=\"597\" data-section-id=\"14jexaw\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1105\" data-start=\"622\"\u003e The grapes come from the southeastern La Grola vineyard, situated on calcareous and clayey soils. This location allows the grapes to benefit from early sunshine and a good temperature variation between day and night. The microclimate plays a key role in ripening, perfectly expressing aromas of ripe fruit and floral notes. The grapes were harvested by hand in the second half of September, with careful selection carried out directly in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1132\" data-start=\"1107\" data-section-id=\"1nispz6\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"1536\" data-start=\"1134\"\u003eAfter harvest, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 20 and 25°C. Fermentation lasts approximately 15 days, with gentle extraction to preserve the finesse and fruitiness. The wine then ages for 16 months, with 50% going into used barriques and 50% into large 85-hectoliter vats. This is followed by a further 10 months of bottle aging before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"398\" data-start=\"375\" data-section-id=\"9tra1w\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"520\" data-start=\"400\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"437\" data-start=\"400\"\u003eCorvina Veronese – La Grola (70%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"440\" data-start=\"437\"\u003e This grape gives body, soft tannins and aromas of black fruit and spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"614\" data-start=\"522\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"552\" data-start=\"522\"\u003eCorvinone – La Grola (25%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"555\" data-start=\"552\"\u003e Strengthens the structure with extra concentration and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"709\" data-start=\"616\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"646\" data-start=\"616\"\u003eRondinella – La Grola (5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"649\" data-start=\"646\"\u003e Brings freshness, colour stability and subtle floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1888\" data-start=\"1857\" data-section-id=\"1kwabyh\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"2326\" data-start=\"1890\"\u003eThe wine opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and ripe cherries, followed by delicate notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
