From the best vineyards located in the Valpolicella Classica area, at about 250-450 m above sea level, comes this sweet wine from the Veneto region of Monte del Frà Winery. For the production of this sweet red wine, a blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes is used, harvested during the month of October after brief drying on the vine. The drying process then continues in temperature-controlled crates until the desired sugar concentration is reached. Soft crushing and slow alcoholic fermentation follow: before bottling, this sweet wine rests in barrels for 24 months.
