The Vineyard
From the prestigious La Groletta and Conca d’Oro crus, in the hilly Valpolicella Classica zone.
Winemaking Techniques
The anomalous climatic trend saw a dry and harsh winter, with little rainfall only in February. In Spring, temperatures below average were recorded and production, especially in the hills, underwent a decrease. Thanks to the temperature changes of the second decade of August and the rains of September, the grapes arrived in the winery perfectly ripe. We carefully selected the best grapes and waited a few more days to harvest in order to have a high-profile Amarone.
Manual harvest and selection of the grapes, followed by drying for about 3 months in a well-ventilated loft. Fermentation in stainless steel for 25 days at 25°-30°C 3 years’ maturation in 35 and 65 hl Slavonian oak casks.
Serving Suggestions
Its elegance and structure make it perfect with game, red meats or mature cheeses. It is also an ideal accompaniment for lengthy conversations.
