Territory and wine style

This Amarone della Valpolicella comes from vineyards located between 250 and 300 meters above sea level, on marl soils, in an area that promotes balanced ripening and good aromatic definition. The vines are between 35 and 45 years old, a fact that suggests a mature and selected production base. Harvesting takes place in the first week of October, and the stylistic approach is that of the classic great Veronese red: significant structure, concentration, and remarkable persistence. The drying of the grapes and aging in barriques contribute to a generous and deep profile, without sacrificing the typical territorial imprint.
