GRAPE VARIETIES
70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella and Molinara.
REGION OF ORIGIN
The historically “classic” zone of the Valpolicella.
SOIL
The soil is mainly calcareous-loamy, tuff, with a good presence of skeleton (stones, rocks). This type of soil gives the wines great freshness and elegance, essential characteristics for long-lived wines.
VINEYARDS
The vineyards are located in a hilly position, at a variable altitude ranging from 150 to 300 meters above sea level, with East, South-East exposure.
HARVEST
Vintage generally begins during the last ten days of August and continues through to the end of September.
FERMENTATION AND AGEING
Only in rare vintages when the climatic conditions enable the perfect ripening of grapes while maintaining elevated levels of acidity, which will guarantee the wine of a long life, do we make an Amarone Riserva from our “Ravazzol” vineyard.
The wine is fermented in a 5000 litre oak vat with wild yeasts and 60 days of skin contact. The wine is then aged for 8 years in a 2000 litre oak vat.
TASTING NOTES
The striking thing about this wine is its elegance and finesse, qualities that only a great Amarone can express.
