After harvest, the grapes are laid on wooden racks and only pressed in January, which greatly concentrates the flavor. This Amarone combines ripe cherries, preserved morello cherries, a firm structure, and a full, balanced taste with the recognizable depth of Valpolicella Classico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"573\"\u003eVineyards and Region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"695\"\u003eLa Giaretta is located in Valgatara, in the municipality of Marano di Valpolicella, one of the classic zones north of Verona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"697\" data-end=\"896\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"722\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wine comes from Valpolicella DOCG Classico, the historical heart of the appellation.
