The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a deep ruby red where the full body is perfectly balanced with the refreshing acidity of the sip. It is a very intense and complex wine, rich in black fruits like black cherries and prune with hints of violet, black pepper, mediterranean herbs such as thyme. The nose goes deeper with hints of forest floor, grafite and tertiary aromas such as nuts, figs and vanilla. The sip is intense, with firm ripe tannins that are really well integrated in the wine and a very long finish. The wine could age for further 20 years, developing more tertiary notes. 

Mainly Corvina Veronese and Corvinone and small percentages of Rondinella and Oseleta Manual harvest, sorting the grapes in the vineyard, is carried out in late September. Drying process: in “fruttaio”. The grapes lose 40 to 45% of the original weight.

Destemming and pressing are carefully carried out in December. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel with a temperature of 8 to 22°C. Fermentation takes place in 25 days with continuous pumping over. 

Maturation takes place in barriques both new and second passage for a minimum of 18 months. After the blending, the wine rests for 7 months before bottling. It ages for further minimum 14 months in bottle before being released.

This Amarone leaps from the glass with an array of aromas that seem daunting at first but then are as comforting as a down comforter. Opening with aromas of ripe black plums, dusted with candied violet petals, espression and a distinct crushed chalk minerality. The palate is voluminous as dried black cherries, black tea and savory herbal flavors rush to meet the roasted coffee bean and licorice roots notes found on the compelling finish. Drink Now - 2045
