Albino Armani Foja Tonda Casetta Valdadige Terradeiforti Barrique DOC 2020

If you're looking for a true hidden gem among Italian red wines, then you'll find it in the Albino Armani Foja Tonda Casetta Valdadige Terradeiforti DOC. This deep red wine comes from the almost forgotten Casetta grape variety, also known in the local dialect as "Foja Tonda" – due to its rounded leaf shape. Albino Armani has revived this ancient variety and now makes it the flagship wine of his estate.

On the nose, you'll find a complex bouquet of baked plum, sour cherry, cinnamon, and a hint of tobacco – powerful, wild, yet refined. On the palate, the wine is fresh, structured, and persistent, with a unique personality that will gain even more depth with aging. With every sip, you'll taste its roots in the pristine alpine landscape of Valdadige.

• Bouquet: Baked plum, sour cherry, cinnamon, tobacco, musk

The wine-growing region for this wine is the DOC Valdadige Terradeiforti, a particularly distinctive region on the border of Veneto and Trentino. The Adige Valley is characterized by morainic and stony alluvial soils, which give the Casetta grape variety its unique character. The microclimate, with cool nights and mild days, produces fresh, structured wines with clear aromatics.
