More from this Producer

CorvoIrmàna Frappato

Made from hand-picked Frappato grapes, Irmàna is an authentic expression of this grape variety. Velvety on the palate, with mild tannins, it is very smooth and has an aromatic persistence on the palate, while the nose is filled with subtle hints of rose and violet. The new design of the Line inspired by naturalness takes us simply into a world of sky and soil, sun and wind.
