Denomination: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Riserva.
Alcohol content: 16,5% vol.
Production area: a blend of the best grapes from the vineyard we have on the Valpolicella Doc area: locality Campiano, over Cazzano di Tramigna.
Grape variety: 30% Corvinone; 40% Corvina; 30% Rondinella.
Grape harvest: the grapes are picked by hand and placed in the plateaux and set to wither in the fruit grower, where the temperature and humidity are constantly monitored.
Vinification: the vinification takes place towards the beginning of January, when the reduction of withdrawal is about 45% and in any case it is always based on the vintage.The fermentation temperature ranges between 23 and 28°C and the duration of maceration is about 20 days, depending on the characteristics of the grape. The wine is then aged in a 30 hl slavonian wood barrel, for 60 months after bottling it remains aging for at least 6 months before being released for consumption.
Characteristics: deep ruby. Intense aromas of dark cherry and plum are complicated by cocoa and coffee. Enter rich and fruity, then more floral, finishing long with a refined but very dense, tactile mouthfeel.
Food matches: it combines beautifully with robust dishes such as venison or roast meats and very mature cheeses, but is also a great sipping wine.
Temperature: serve at 20°-22°C.
NB: open the bottle one hour before the tasting.
