WINE DESCRIPTION
This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a luxurious dry red wine made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. Grown in the hills of Marano di Valpolicella, the 35-40-year-old vines produce concentrated, flavorful grapes. Hand-harvested and dried for 90 days, the grapes are then fermented and aged in oak barrels for at least 3 years, followed by 6 months in the bottle. This meticulous process results in a rich, complex wine with deep flavors, velvety texture, and notes of spice and vanilla, perfect for special occasions.
