AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG
Amarone derives from the word Amaro, of “bitter wine”, mentioned since the time of Catullus in Carme 27 (about 49 BC).
Amarone della Valpolicella is one of the most sumptuous and luxuriant red wines in the world, a jewel that has made “Valpolicella” one of the best known regions for all winelovers.
It is a noble wine, produced with the best bunches, harvested manually, left to dry in special trays for about three or four months, to increase the sugar concentration up to 25-30%.
Only in January, the grapes are pressed and left to ferment for another 25-30 days.
The product thus obtained is then decanted into steel tanks to complete the malolactic fermentation, then left to mature in barriques for 24/36 months and finally bottled, with a final refinement in the bottle for a few more months.
