AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG 2015<\/h1>\n

Known worldwide, Amarone della Valpolicella is the noble wine of Verona.
\nThe clusters dedicated to the production of Amarone must be perfectly intact, with loose grapes, so as to allow the passage of air during the delicate process of drying that takes place on small constantly monitored crates for a period of 100 days for 70% of the grapes and 120 days for the remaining 30%. During this period the grapes \u2013 Corvinone, Corvina and Rondinella \u2013 dehydrate, thus increasing their sugar content and gaining aromas. After the crushing and fermentation, the aging process continues in French and American oak barriques for about 36 months followed by the assemblage of the different masses.
\nAmarone has a deep red color, a round and velvety taste, aromas of ripe fruit, wisteria, almond, licorice, tobacco, chocolate and coffee.
\nIt is a perfect match for wild game meat or roasts, but also as a meditation wine.
\nIt is advisable to uncork the bottle at least one hour before use.<\/span><\/p>\n
