Description

The Pario 2018 is a captivating red that bridges the world of fresh Valpolicella and Amarone's rich intensity. Created by Luca Fedrigo, the longtime apprentice of Giuseppe Quintarelli, this wine embodies tradition with a twist, using 50% ripasso method and 50% fresh grapes to achieve both structure and freshness.

The bouquet unfolds with dusty florals and earthy tones, evolving into dried cherry, autumn spice, and underbrush. On the palate, it offers bright acidity, delicate sweetness, and wild berry fruit, wrapped in a textured frame with hints of spiced orange peel and mint on the finish. Balanced, soulful, and full of character.
