65% Corvina, 15% Corvinone + 10% Rondinella + 10% other varieties
Vines used to make this wine are 20-25 years old plus some new plantings.
A blend of 65% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella and 10% other mixed grapes, this vintage brings forth inky black fruit and bold aromas of dried plum, raisin box, spice, Spanish cedar and mesquite. The grapes dry over a period of anywhere from four to five months in specially ventilated rooms (fruttaia), thus concentrating the flavors, sweetness and appearance of the wine. At the end of the air-drying stage, in the middle of winter, the crush starts and the dried grapes ferment in oak with ambient yeasts. The wine then ages in wood for 36 months.
This Amarone calls for a hearty veal stew. Drink 2020-2030.
