This wine, obtained from the grapes harvested from the vineyard of the same name, is left to re-ferment with the skins of the grapes used for Amarone ® and Recioto®, which are still intact and slightly sweet. In this way the body, color, extract, aromas and alcoholic content of the wine are increased and it becomes more suited for long aging
