A blend of 45% Corvina, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% parts each of Rondinella and Merlot, the 2018 Tigiolo opens to dark fruit with dried tones of blackcurrant and thorny rosemary twig or bramble. The 2018 vintage in Valpolicella is often characterized by some of these herbal tones thanks to the rather cool growing season that also saw a lot of moisture and rain in spring. The wine is full-bodied, and the tannins are softly tucked within the wine's medium-rich textural fiber. Some 7,000 bottles were made.
