In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Bright cherry and sweet spice open the palate, backed by silky tannins and a mineral edge that speaks to the calcareous soils of Val Squaranto. The structure is confident without heaviness—ripe fruit balanced by freshness, equally at home alone or anchoring a meal. Corvina and Corvinone drive the depth; Rondinella adds spicy lift.

The Winery — Torre di Terzolan

A Renaissance hunting lodge in Valpolicella's upper Val Squaranto, Torre di Terzolan was revitalised by Roberta Previti in the 1990s after centuries of quieter stewardship. She has spent three decades restoring the estate's vineyards and olive groves to organic farming, preserving its history while modernising practice. The 2019 vintage—mild September, gentle late harvest, perfect ripeness—spent 15 months in French oak and amphorae, then two years in bottle before release, achieving composure and finesse. Organic methods and careful drying of fruit before pressing shaped a wine with real presence.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Serve at 14–16°C with roasted chicken, braised lamb, aged Gorgonzola, game, venison, mushroom dishes, or BBQ and grilled fare. This is a wine that rewards slow sipping and will age gracefully.
