Region: Veneto, Italy

About:  Founded by Pietro Castellani in 1902, the estate is comprised of over 29 hectares of vineyards. Practicing organic farming for a generation (certified for 7 years), Alessandro and his brother Nicola — their family’s fourth generation — have carefully selected the best of their own vines to propagate as they plant new sites.

This red is a blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella and Molinara, fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for three months before bottling.

Tasting notes: Crunchy black raspberries, rose petal, savory herbs and white pepper
