Produced exclusively from outstanding vintages, this wine reflects the estate's philosophy of elegance, structure, and exceptional aging potential. The Marezzane and Villa Cavarena vineyards, situated at altitudes between 450 and 520 meters, ensure optimal freshness and aromatic complexity in this powerhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"752\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003eThe grapes for this Amarone come from carefully selected plots in the Fumane hills, in the heart of Valpolicella Classico. The southeastern-facing slopes and the soils rich in limestone and clay ensure natural drainage and deep root development. The vines are on average 15 years old and are trained according to the Guyot system, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Harvest takes place in late September and is entirely hand-picked, with strict selection in the vineyard itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1nispz6\" data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1305\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the grapes undergo traditional appassimento in the \"fruttaio,\" during which they lose up to 45% of their weight. The grapes are destemmed and pressed only in December. Fermentation in stainless steel lasts for 25 days at a temperature between 8 and 22°C, with regular pumping over. The wine then matures for at least 18 months in barriques, some new and some second-pass. After blending, the wine rests for another 7 months, and only after at least 14 months of bottle aging is the wine released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"9tra1w\" data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1782\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1715\"\u003eCorvina Veronese – Marezzane (45%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1718\"\u003e Gives this Amarone its floral aromas, structure and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1897\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1820\"\u003eCorvinone – Villa Cavarena (45%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"1823\"\u003e Adds depth, with notes of ripe black fruit and a hint of spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"2003\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1899\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003eRondinella – Marezzane (5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"1933\"\u003e Known for its juiciness and cherry notes, it supports the freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2005\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003eOseleta – Villa Cavarena (5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2041\"\u003e Rare grape variety that adds extra concentration and tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1kwabyh\" data-start=\"2227\" data-end=\"2258\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2729\"\u003e This Amarone is deep ruby ​​red with a rich aroma of black cherries, plums, violets, black pepper, and Mediterranean herbs.
