Description

Grapes that wait for winter

Amarone is a wine that starts before it is born. After harvest, the best bunches of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara are laid out on bamboo racks in an airy drying loft, where they wither for three or four months. They lose almost half their weight, concentrating sugar, aromas and colour.

The grapes are only pressed in January. Fermentation is long and slow, helped by the cold of the season; the wine then matures for three years in oak casks, some large and some smaller, and rests again in bottle.

The result is a warm, enveloping red, with notes of sour cherry, dried plum, cocoa and spice, and a finish reminiscent of dark chocolate. For all its power it stays elegant: Corvina's acidity keeps it upright.

It pairs with game, braised meats and blue cheeses, but it is at its best on its own too, after dinner, as a wine for contemplation.
