Very deep ruby red color. Broad bouquet with notes of cherry, dried fruits, vanilla, and a clear hint of black pepper and liquorice. The taste is full, with an exceptional strength but incredible elegance.  A meditative wine to be paired with 90% dark chocolate, game, or aged cheese, in keeping with tradition.

The Amarone "Il Fornetto" represents our best example of Amarone, produced from the historical vineyard "Il Fornetto"  which is situated at the heart of Valpolicella Classico in the hillside area that falls under the town of Negrar.  It is produced only in the best vintages after a withering of more than 140 days and long aging in oak "barriques".  This wine is produced in limited quantities and has extraordinary vigor, complexity and thanks to its exceptional strength may be kept for up to 20 years.

The grapes are selected and placed in 6 kg trunks to rest in our fruit-room to rest for a period. During the drying period, a sequence of biochemical processes carried out by microorganism like Botritis Nobile, transform part of the sugar into glycerine.

After crushing the grapes, the maceration and fermentation processes, let the Amarone be a very structured and incredibly rich in aromas wine. 4 years of ageing in oak barrels follows, where it completes its malolactic fermentation.
