AMARONE
DELLA VALPOLICELLA

DOCG
 
750 ml

Production method:

The hand-selected grapes rest in large crates for about 120 days in our fruit cellars. At an altitude of 120 metres, they benefit from the natural ventilation of foothill winds through north and south facing windows. They are fermented in modern-style tanks for about 30 days at a temperature of between 16° and 20°. This is followed by approximately 24 months of maturation in mediumtoasted French oak barrels and a final fining in the bottle for at least 12 months.

The grapes for the Amarone are harvested starting from mid-September and selected by hand following strict criteria to bring only the most mature and perfectly healthy bunches to the drying cellar. Drying process takes place in plateaux for about 100 days in an old barn. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration in steel tanks last up to a month before racking the wine into the wood. Then a maturation phase of about 24 months in new, second passage tonneaux and large oak barrels for a better complexity of the wine. Bottle aging for at least 12 months.
