The red wine Valdadige Terradeiforti Casetta Riserva DOC is made from the same grape varieties as the non-aged Valdadige Terradeiforti Casetta DOC, meaning the Casseta grape (85-100%), with the permitted addition of other local red grapes (0-15%).
The result is a deep ruby red, almost garnet wine. The aroma is characteristic and slightly spicy, while the taste is dry, fairly full-bodied, balanced often with hints from the barrel-aging.
The minimum aging period is 3 years starting with November 1st of the harvesting year.
The wine combines perfectly with fried sausages and mature cheeses.
