The calcareous-clay soils give rise to structured and highly elegant wines, such as Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Superiore, symbols of the local winemaking tradition. The landscape is characterized by rolling hills, orderly vineyards, and ancient rural courts, with the medieval castle dominating and narrating the history of a territory where time seems to have stood still. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eCaressed by the breeze of the Lessini Mountains and nourished by the marly soils of our hills, the grapes slowly mature, enriching themselves with aromas and harmony. From this balance, our wine is born, an authentic expression of the soul of Valpolicella.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. is the ultimate expression of perfection, a true symbol of the Veronese land. \u003c\/span\u003eWe wanted to create a wine capable of remaining faithful to its history, yet also looking to the future: a great Italian classic that could be contemporary, immediate, and recognizable to everyone. To achieve this, we maintained our protocol, respecting its fundamental rules, but we made some targeted changes: a late harvest and a shorter drying period, to capture and preserve the freshness of the grapes. The result is a wine that needs no words, because it speaks for itself. An extraordinary fragrance, capable of impressing even the most demanding palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom September 10th to October 15th, only the best bunches are hand-picked, and a meticulous sorting is carried out to eliminate any berries that do not meet our standards. The selected grapes are then placed in trays and left to rest for several weeks in large open rooms, where a ventilation system helps maintain a high and widespread airflow.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePressing usually takes place in early December, after a further manual selection we perform, bunch by bunch, to eliminate any berries that may have deteriorated during the drying period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of approximately 28°C, with a computerized system that allows for automatic punch-downs for a period of about 15 days, including a final two-day maceration.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter decanting in mid-January, the Amarone, which still contains some residual sugars, is transferred to new barriques, where a slow fermentation process begins that can last for several months. The aging period in wood has a total duration of 24 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe final stage of the production process takes place once the barriques have been blended and the final mass obtained.
