Ilatium Morini, Valpolicella Superiore "Campo Prognai" Veneto, Italy 2017

70% Corvina and Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and Oseleta

40% of the grapes undergo a 30 days drying period. Short criomaceration followed by a 12 days fermentation in stainless steel. Matured in Slavonian oak tonneaux for 15 months.

In the year 2000, the seven Morini cousins decided to join forces and start vinifying the grapes from the vineyards that belonged to their fathers for more than 40 years. The name of the estate, Ilatium, originates from the Latin name of their home town, Illasi. Roman troops on their way to conquer the northern “barbaric” regions founded villages in the sheltered valleys of the Valpolicella and planted vines and olive trees. Ilatium released their first Amarone in 2007, a wine that embodies the style of the estate: fruit driven, lush and rich and yet retaining great elegance and drinkability.
