Amarone

Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto.

40% Corvina Veronese, 40% Corvinone Veronese, 20% Rondinella. Manual harvest and selection of the best bunches at the end of September / beginning of October, with careful attention to sugar and polyphenolic maturation. Perfect, very healthy grapes with high sugar content.

Drying from the end of September for approximately 90/100 days, with a natural loss of 35-40% in weight. Great care is taken to control the integrity of the grapes.

Soft pressing of the dried grapes in December/January. Fermentation at controlled temperature and maceration for 30/40 days.

The resulting wine is aged for 36 months (depending on the vintage) in new medium-toasted Allier oak barriques; the wine evolves in the bottle for at least 6 months.

Deep ruby red color with garnet veins. Ethereal, fragrant, spicy aroma, with hints of cherry, bitter almond and vanilla. Full, warm, velvety, soft flavor, on a pleasantly bitterish background.
