Intense ruby red, glycerine-rich, tending towards garnet with ageing.  Notes of ripe cherry and morello cherry, semi-dried plums and spices.  In palate, it enters with appealing savouriness, mirroring the fragrances on the nose and adding fruit preserves, with ageing, the palate lengthens, offering delicate impression of peppe, black liquorice and cocoa powder.

Vineyard practices: the grapes for Amarone are grown in the eldest vineyards. Orgnaic fertilisation and hand-pruining; shootthinning, leaf-pulling, clusterthinning. The grapes are harvested into plateaux during the 2nd and 3rd decade of September. Minimum 3 months of natural semi-drying of the grapes with non use od dehumidifiers.

Vinification and maturation: After pressing in January, the grapes are held in steel tanks and in concrete vats, without added yeasts or other biotechnical agents, until the fermentation begins, with very few pumpovers or punch downs performed. After maceration on the pomace for over 2 months, the wine matures in large Slavonian oak ovals for a minimum of 5years. From this moment on,regular topping-up is the only operation performed: time very gradually shapes the wineʼs characteristics. It receives one yearsʼ bottle-ageing. Amarone is produced only in the finest growing years.
