Amarone della Valpolicella Classico “Croce del Gal” RISERVA 2004
€280.00
Our Riserva is distinguished by its strong character, acquired with the slow passing of seasons. Just a few words to describe the Riserva Benedetti Croce del Gal: it is a wine that defies time, available only after a minimum of 10 years, thanks to its great longevity and complexity, as it is the highest expression of quality of our Company, and the result of the selection of the best Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina grapes, harvested in our best and oldest vineyards.
