Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG

Acinatico

Our Amarone Acinatico comes from the selection of grapes which grow high up in the hills of Valpolicella. It’s a red wine with a  great structure, elegant complexity and a really warm and spicy bouquet with raisin fruit flavor. It requires a period of drying the grapes and a long aging in barrels.

But now

Oenological
practice

The grapes are selected hand by hand in September, placed in trunks and left to rest in our fruit-room. During the drying period, a sequence of biochemical processes, as Botritis Nobile, partially transform sugars into glycerine.

After crushing the grapes, the maceration  fermentation processes let the wine be a very structured and incredibly aromatic wine. 2 years of ageing in oak barrels give a distinctive personality to Amarone Acinatico.

Tasting

Intense red ruby colour with garnet shades, elegant bouquet with black cherry hints, mature fruits and spices. It’s a wine with great structure and complexity, but still smooth and elegant.
