Powerful, sun-drenched reds with a dark robe and generous alcohol, showing aromas of stewed blackberry, stewed plum, dried fig, chocolate, gentle spice and balsamic notes. Supple tannins, indulgent finish. Star of Puglia with Primitivo di Manduria DOC, Gioia del Colle DOC and Salice Salentino. Identical to American Zinfandel and Croatian Crljenak Kaštelanski by DNA analysis.
Venetian DOC south-east of Lake Garda, light fresh reds as signature accessible style. Native Corvina as base (35-80%): supple reds with signature notes of tangy cherry, raspberry, violet, fresh herbs and an almond touch, fine tannins and refreshing palate — everyday lakeside wine. Rondinella and Corvinone complete, Molinara brings freshness. Pale fresh Chiaretto di Bardolino rosé (strawberry, citrus, flowers).
