The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
Lenotti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico - A Complex and Profound Gem from Italy. Lenotti Amarone is Lenotti's flagship wine, a wine that embodies depth and complexity. What makes this Amarone so special is that the grapes are dried before pressing, resulting in a weight loss of 25 to 40 percent. This sophisticated technique results in a rich and complex juice.
Lenotti's exceptional wines are produced in Northern Italy, around beautiful Lake Garda and the renowned wine village of Bardolino. Although it can be hot in this region, the lake breeze provides a cooling breeze, allowing the sun-ripened grapes to retain their fresh acidity and fruity aromas. Founded in 1906, the Lenotti winery has a long history and remains a family-owned business. They began by producing and selling wine in barrels and later transitioned to producing quality wines exclusively in bottles. The wine cellar has a capacity of approximately 25,000 hectoliters, most of which consists of stainless steel tanks. Oak barrels are used only for aging and fermenting the wines. Lenotti wines are recognized worldwide for their focus on grape quality, experimentation, and investment.
Only the finest grapes are used for this Lenotti red wine, made from a blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented slowly, sometimes for up to several months. The wine is aged in oak barrels for three to five years. On the nose, this Amarone della Valpolicella Classico has impressions of ripe black fruit, currants, vanilla, and a hint of oak and truffle. Lenotti is known for its minimal use of sulfites, resulting in pure and high-quality wines. The palate is soft with rounded flavors of blackberries, ripe black cherries, and plums, and powerful aromas of truffle, leather, chocolate, oak, and vanilla. In short, an unforgettable wine and the king of the Valpolicella region!
