Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, a wine crafted through an ancient Roman technique known as "appassimento." In this unique process, grapes undergo natural drying in a fruttaio (drying facility) for an extended 3 to 4 months. During this period, the grapes shed 40-50% of their original weight, intensifying the concentration of their inherent substances.
Come January, the grapes experience "pigiatura" or squeezing to extract the juice, followed by a month-long fermentation. The maturation unfolds in French oak barriques and tonneaux for an extended period ranging from 42 to 50 months. Subsequently, the wine undergoes an additional year of aging in the bottle. Immerse yourself in the rich history and intricate craftsmanship encapsulated in every sip of Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.
A captivating interplay of ripe red plum, nuanced spices, and subtle notes of dry fruits on the nose. As you savor, experience a dry, warm intensity that envelops the palate, revealing a robust character that is both powerful and vigorous. The journey concludes with a pleasantly clean finish, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's rich and intricate profile.
