Territory and wine style

This Amarone is born in the classic area of Valpolicella, in the municipality of Sant’Ambrogio, a historic territory in the province of Verona where winemaking tradition meets a strong gastronomic identity. The wine is primarily produced with Corvina Veronese, alongside Rondinella, Oseleta, and Croatina, a blend that contributes to building aromatic depth, structure, and taste richness. The drying of the grapes in fruit drying rooms for several months concentrates aromas and material, giving rise to a warm, broad, and authoritative style, typical of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico.
