How It Was Made:
Selection of grapes in the vineyard, delicate crushing-destemming and fermentation at a controlled temperature for 8-10 days. The characteristic of this wine is the subsequent “ripasso” of the Amarone marc. During this second fermentation the wine receives from the dried marc part of the characteristics that are specific to Amarone. After malolactic fermentation the refinement of about 2 years begins, which also includes a passage in medium and large barrels. After bottling the wine rests for a further 6 months.
