For the production of Amarone the best scattered bunches are selected, the one exposed to the sun in the most optimal way, and are placed in 7kg crates for 3 months. During these months the weight loss is about 40% of the original grapes. The grapes are then pressed in January in steel wine vessels. The fermentation completes at 18° in about 25 days. The wine is then aged partly in 500 litres oak barrels for 24 months, and partly in 20 hl oak barrels. The aging process ends in 0,75 litres bottles where the wine rest for about 12 months.
