Selective manual harvest of immaculate grapes. Back at the winery, the fruit is placed in shallow wooden trays and left to dry out for 4 months in special drying chambers. During this storage period, close monitoring is necessary to ensure the right temperature and humidity level. Afterwards, the vinification process begins with a cold maceration ('cold soak') for five days to extract aromas and flavours. The wine spends 24 months in French oak barrels in order to mature and undergo malolactic fermentation. It is then aged in bottle for a further 12 months before being released for sale.
Deep ruby colour. Pronounced nose of forest floor, plum, black cherry, dark chocolate and black pepper. Dry on the palate, with soft tannins and balanced acidity. This Amarone has a full body and a long finish ending in cherry and coffee notes.
Sourced from plots situated 100 to 350 metres above sea level, where a combination of limestone, loam, and clay marl results in consistently high-quality crops.
