Where it comes from
The Riserva carries the family name, which at Veloria means it is the wine the estate is willing to be judged on. It is made only from Sangiovese, and only from the parcels on the southern face where the slope holds the afternoon.
Thirty months in French oak, then a minimum of twelve in bottle before a single case leaves the property. By the time you open it, most of its life has already happened somewhere dark and cool without you.
Every bottle is numbered
Written on the front label before the bottle leaves the cellar. This is how one of them reads.
