Vineyard practices: this Riserva is produced only in the very finest growing years. It is distinguished from the Amarone classico by an even more-rigorous quality-selection of the grapes, which are sourced fromthe oldest vineyards, 20-50 years old. O rganic fertilisation and hand-pruning; shoot-thinning, leaf-pulling, cluster-thinning.

Vinification and maturation: three-month semi-drying of the grapes, with no use of de-humidifiers, followed by pressing in January. Vinified in strict accord with traditional methods, it ferments on the skins in concrete vats for at least 2 months, at natural temperatures and with ambient yeasts. After an initial racking it rests some 9 years in Slavonian oak casks and large ovals, and is bottled in its tenth year. This lengthy ageing favours further reduction of its residual sugars. It receives an additional year of bottle-ageing.
