Description
This wine is made from grapes harvested in various vineyards located on hills in the Valpolicella zone (Mezzane and Tregnago hills). Different sources and different grape varieties are important to obtain well-balanced wines with the fine structure that only a few single areas in the Valpolicella zone can provide. Notes: Color: strong ruby red. Clear and transparent. Bouquet: notes of vanilla and ethereal airs depending on the period of aging in the barrel; notes of sweet fruits such as currants, blueberries, cherries depending on the varieties of grapes. Flavor: wine with a velvety, raisiny character combined with the structure and typical stylish bitterness to give it good balance.
Amarone Classico “RISERVA” is produced from four Valpolicella grape varieties, cultivated high on hillside terraces. Only the best and most mature clusters are selected for this wine. The grapes are placed directly onto small open racks and brought to an open sided building where they are dried by the cool breezes of autumn and winter until the following February. Only produced in the best vintages in limited number, it is the result of a careful selection of the grapes, a long drying process and refinement in French and American oak barriques for about 48 months. Final long ageing in the bottle. It is an important wine for special occasions or as meditation wine.
