Amarone is the pride of the Valpolicella and the secret to this superb wine lies in the selection of the grapes that are then dried on plastic trays. Meticulous control is exercised during the drying process, which lasts until January/February when the grapes are finally pressed. The wine is then aged for 2 years in Slovenian oak barrels, then aged 1 more year in bottles to attain its completeness and nobility.
This wine presents itself in a red-garnet color with orange edges, and with an ethereal and spicy fragrance. In the mouth, it is warm, robust, full-bodied, velvety, pleasantly bitter and harmonious. An excellent wine for game dishes and seasoned cheeses.
