Notes

After a short period of appassimento in wooden cases, this wine is produced according to traditional fermentation. Then in March fresh wine is passed over the lees and pomace of fermented Amarone, so called “Ripasso” method, which allowed to begin a second fermentation. This adds an incredible amount of body, character and more clarity of flavour to the wine. Bottled after 1 year ageing. Serving temperature: 19°C. [restrict]View datasheet[/restrict]

Notes

In making Amarone, the best grapes harvested at the end of October are dried on straw mats before pressing, which concentrates their flavours into a heady, plummy intensity. It is an extremely deep blood-red/black wine. It has an extraordinarily complex vinous bouquet laced with stewed cherries. On the palate it is lusciously full and warm, with all-enveloping fruit, velvety tannins, and a long finish. Hardly drinkable alone, this needs to be paired with some seriously flavourful like heavy foods. Serving temperature: 18°C.
