| Cellar Notes: | Individual parcels of Rondinella, Corvina and Molinara were selected for their concentration and ripeness then vinified separately. The grapes were dried, or 'raisined' in special drying lodges to reduce the water content and further increase concentration. This was then fermented dry and aged in oak before blending the individual parcels together before bottling |
