VINIFICATION

The grapes are carefully selected and harvested in mid-September and laid down to dry in the drying loft for about 3 months. Here the bunches lose about 40% of their weight, thus concentrating substances in the grapes. After pressing in mid-January, alcoholic fermentation in steel vats begins, for around 25-30 days at a controlled temperature.

Continuous punching down is carried out to encourage extraction of colour and tannin. When finished, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation takes place giving softness to the wine.

TASTING NOTES

A modern, fresh Amarone with a fruity nose of fresh blackberries, together with hints of dark chocolate. Elegant and juicy on the palate, with silky, tamed tannins. Ready to drink now but will show elegance and freshness also in the long run.
