PRODUCTION AREA
Veneto, Valpolicella Classica from clayey calcareous and tuffaceous soil that gives freshness and elegance to this wine.
TRAINING SYSTEM
Pergola veronese with a density of vine- yard of about 3,300 vines/Ha, and vine older than 50 years.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
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 in French oak barrels for 48 months with a capacity of 20 hl. This wine is produced only in the best vintages.
APPEARANCE
Full intense, deep ruby red.
AROMA
Complex fragrance, prominent notes of prunes, red berries, cherry under spirits and hints of balsamic notes on the nose.
TASTING NOTES
Full bodied wine, velvety and smooth, delicate and elegant tannin flavour. The structure is more complex than the Amarone Celeste since it does one year longer of aging in big barrel.
