Where it comes from

The grapes for Passionesentimento come from the sunny slopes of eastern Valpolicella, in the province of Verona. The region's rich viticultural heritage is reflected in the wine's character.

How it is made

The harvest is carried out by hand, with only the best bunches selected. The grapes rest in wooden crates in the drying loft until partially dehydrated, losing about 30% of their weight and concentrating their aromas and sugars. The varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The final blend is aged for six months in oak tonneaux, developing further complexity and harmony.
