Paxxo, Rosso Passito

REGION

Veneto

GRAPE VARIETIES

Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Paxxo is the result of a careful choice of grape varieties.  The use of Corvina Veronese and Rondinella guarantees strength and austerity;  a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon adds persistence and length;  and finally Merlot adds softness and elegance.

Ruby red with a touch of violet.  Great density in the glass expresses good structure. Pleasantly spicy with hints of red currants and mature fruit.  Warm, soft, persistent with hints of dried fruit which is reminiscent of Amarone.
