After a careful selection of the grapes during manual harvest, grapes are naturally dried for about 4 months. By the time grapes are ready to be pressed, they have lost 50% of their original weight. Five kilograms of fresh grapes goes into production of one liter of Amarone. Aged for about 30 months in Slavonian oak cask, followed by 6 months in the bottle for the final ageing process.
Dark, rich, and spicy the grapes for this wine had been dried for 4 months before pressing. Bitter Chocolate, savoury cherry fruit, lavender, and tobacco all feature in this complex spectacular wine. It is rich and silky yet finds enough acidity to stay vibrant and bright. Finishes very long with wet stone mineral and dark savoury chocolate notes.
Drink it with roasted and grilled meats, game, pasta with meat or heavy sauces, sandwiches with porchetta (pork meat) or pork belly, meatballs, beef tartare, aged cheeses
