This amarone has a ruby ??red color with some garnet red hues. We find aromas of cherries in alcohol, sour cherries, plums, licorice and leather. On the palate spices such as pepper and cinnamon, as well as hints of scrub. This is an extremely elegant, harmonious and velvety wine, yet robust, complex, dry and full-bodied.

Vinification
This wine is made from grapes that are allowed to dry out for 60 to 100 days. This principle is called "Appassimento". The pressing is done in February, after which a spontaneous fermentation follows in steel tanks at a low temperature. This ensures a slow fermentation and a long maceration, an optimal extraction. The wine ages 24 months in French oak of 20 and 30 HL.
