"The Mazzi brothers are based on the eastern flanks of the Negrar valley, where they farm seven hectares of vines. Their Punta di Villa, from a southwest-facing site at 250m, is aged for some 30 months in oak and a further year in bottle before release. A shy nose of cherry and herbs is followed by a full, rich and juicy palate with flavours of fig, cranberry and cherry, and fair acidity. The 6.2 g/l of residual sugar is not too obvious alongside the 17% alcohol content."
