Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Organic DOCG 2018

It is the dry red from dried grapes that made Valpolicella great, a concentrate of aromas and flavours. Our singular interpretation of Amarone is born from only grapes harvested in vineyards that are more than twenty years old, where elegance tames great power and longevity is an essential characteristic.
The sparsest bunches are collected and placed in boxes of around 6kg, to be dried in the fruit room for around 100 days. After all the aromas and structural components have been concentrated thanks to drying, the grapes are delicately pressed and left to ferment in concrete vats. The maceration of the pressed grapes is very long, and lasts for about 30 days, after which the wine finds its home in oak barrels. After 36 months of maturation, the wine is bottled, and refines here for another 12 months.

Grapes: 70% Corvina, 17% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone, 3% Molinara

Organoleptic characteristics: Intense garnet, with great consistency and beautiful transparency. The complexity of the aromas begins with delicate floral scents of peonies and roses, changing into black cherries in alcohol and dried red plums. Cloves, peat and liquorice are noticeable, giving balsamicity and freshness. The velvety tannin, which gives persistence and depth, plays with the balsamic aromas for a warm and enveloping sip.

Pairing: So intense, it requires equally tasty dishes, such as game and braised meats.
