A long period in bottle follows before the finished Solengo is released. Solengo, by the way, means solitary wild boar in Tuscan, and describes perfectly the regal, powerful,

Valpolicella Classico is a wine that tells the history of the region in its most unadorned form. “Elegant” is the adjective that best describes the character of the Rafaèl, a highly distinctive wine that is closely linked with the history of the Tommasi family. The family blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara has always stayed the same but in varying amounts according to vintage.

While still retaining all the charming characteristics of Nebbiolo, the addition of 10% Barbera into the blend gives it a softer side. Expect beautifully perfumed red fruits and a smooth, balanced, and long finish. Taste Canebbio is an elegant and refined wine, and its colour of mellow red garnet shades out to burnt orange near the side
