WINE DESCRIPTION
Tezza Corte Majoli Amarone della Valpolicella a blend of Corvina and Rondinella, emanates from the Verona region's fertile soils, rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and marked by calcareous composition with ample organic content. Cultivated using Guyot and slanted Pergola Veronese techniques, the harvest unfolds in September and October. Grapes undergo meticulous drying on low-temperature, controlled-humidity drying floors. Vinification involves destemming, crushing, addition of selected yeasts, and maceration in steel tanks with daily pumping. The elixir matures for an impressive 48 months in the cellar. Ideal at 16°C, this wine harmonizes exquisitely with braised meats, roasts, matured cheese, and the classic Brasato all'Amarone (Amarone-braised meat).

The wine's high alcohol content is well-managed, adding depth and warmth to the overall profile.
