| Description: |
|
The wine: has a purple colour with garnet rim; intense, very complex bouquet with strong notes of raisins and prunes and hints of vanilla, cinnamon and cherry brandy; full, generous and very firm flavour with an elegant, lingering aftertaste of conserve and spices. It is already well developed, but can keep thanks to its firm and balanced structure. Vinification and Maturation: from the end of September the healthiest bunches are harvested by hand into 7 kg wooden boxes and then left to dry in a controlled humidity until the February; after the pressing the traditional maceration lasts for more than three weeks; towards the end of the fermentation the wine's racked into lightly toasted French barriques used for a varying number of times; the wine's matured for 24 months in wood and rests 6 months in bottle before being sold Unusual fact: this is the modern version of the classic Amarone; richer in fruit, it takes less time to reach the optimum balance for consumption. Production started with the 1995 vintage. Area: San Pietro in Cariano, Marano and Fumane Vine: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara Grapes. The Vineyard: selected vineyards in the communes of San Pietro in Cariano, Marano and Fumane. The vines are trained by the cortina pendente system on soil of average density with clay and limestone mixed with stones well exposed to the southwest. (6 x 75 cl)
