Harvest period: Grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of September.

Wine Making: The grapes are hand selected in the vineyard and are placed in crates to be left to dry in a grape drying loft. During the fermentation process, the must is left in contact with the grape skins so that the colour is extracted from the fruit. A pumping over technique is carried out twice a day and delestage is carried out half way hrough the fermentation process.

Tasting notes: Garnet red with aromas of fruit jam, Moreno cherries, red cherries and vanilla. The aromas of dried fruit and spice come from the “appassimento” process. Our Amarone Classico is a full-bodied, elegant, complex and velvety wine. The perfect match for Peking duck or Texas style Venison dishes!

Tasting notes by a wine expert: The wine possesses a notable deep color in a layered expression of bright red fruits. Perfumed aromatics add further complexity as the wine gains volume with air, revealing the full breadth of its pedigree. This focused, energetic wine is delicious now, but will be even better in another year or two.

Serving temperature: Serve at 16 – 18° C. Please open the bottle at least 1 hour before consumption.
