Il Conte – Rosso Veronese IGT is a bold and elegant red wine made from carefully selected, partially dried grapes grown on the limestone-rich hills of Tregnago, in the historic Cà Dei Conti estate. Vines aged between 30 and 50 years yield limited quantities of highly concentrated fruit.

This unique blend combines traditional Veronese varieties, such as Corvina and Rondinella — with PIWI grapes, naturally resistant to disease and cultivated without chemical treatments. Deep in color and rich on the nose, it offers notes of cherry, dried fruit, cocoa, and warm spices. Full-bodied and refined, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game, hearty roasts, and aged cheeses—or savored on its own as a meditative wine.
