Deep ruby. Very ripe, almost roasted nose of dried cranberry, kirsch, brown spices, figs macerated in sugar syrup and botanical herbs. Then fresher and suave, with clean and precise flavours of cinnamon, pepper, tobacco and pot pourri. Finishes long with young, chewy but polished tannins.  

In Case Vecie, with over 70 hectares, Brigaldara has set up a very strict action where men, plants and animals are all part of the same virtuous cycle: other than viticulture, forestry is practiced, and Brigaldara is responsible for the maintainance of dry-stone walls and fields, the management of the truffle ground and the reintroduction of sheep farming.
