WINE DESCRIPTION
La Dama Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a highly regarded wine and is made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. It begins with selecting the ripest, sun-exposed bunches. These are dried for 100 days in natural fruit-drying rooms before pressing in steel and wooden vats in January. The extended fermentation process lasts 30 to 40 days, concentrating the aromas. The wine then ages in barrels for 36 months and settles in the bottle for at least one year before release, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile.
