WINERY: Latium di Morini COUNTRY: Italy REGION: Veneto APPELLATION: Valpolicella Ripasso DOC GRAPE: Corvina and Corvinone 70% - Rondinella 20% - Croatina and others 10% WINEMAKER NOTES: From vineyards situated over 200 meters above sea level in Mezzane di Sotto and the Valle d’Illasi. This wine mirrors the clayey-calcareous soils in which the vines grow, aged 10-15 years, adding layers of depth and complexity to the final product.
