Wine description
A wine that strongly conveys its identity, with personality and recognisability. It is a distinctive Amarone with a classic style, where elegance prevails over power. Complex, balanced and well-orchestrated. A wine with an invaluable and extraordinary longevity. It can be paired with red meat, game and mature cheese, but it is also perfect at the end of a meal and as a “conversation” wine.
Tasting Notes
An intense red colour, with garnet nuances. Typical and marked notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, followed by a wide variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, liquorice and spices. On the palate, overtones of red berry fruit, softened by velvety notes of vanilla, in perfect balance with the acidity and tannic notes.
Vinification
Traditional natural method. Left to dry on arèle (traditional bamboo cane racks): 120 days. Crushing in the first days of January. Fermentation in concrete vats.
Ageing
Ageing for 6-7 years in 60-hl Slavonian oak barrels.
