WINE DESCRIPTION
The San Giuseppe Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a full-bodied, rich red from the Negrar hills in Valpolicella, made from select Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. Only the outer, sun-exposed recioto clusters are used, ensuring concentrated flavors. After hand-picking, the grapes are dried for about 120 days, pressed, and steeped with skins for 30 days. The wine is aged in oak for circa 18 months and refined in bottle.
