Monte del Frà - Scarnocchio Classico - MAGNUM (kist) | Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG
Red wine | Italy, VENETO | 2017
Deep garnet with hints of ruby red. Blue floral notes and light
herbaceousnes followed by a touch of spices, reminisces of dried
peach, apricot and otehr stone fruit leave room for exciting black cherry,
dark plum, balckberry and hints of refreshing and endulging mint. The
flavours remain true to the nose, a real explosion of black and red fruit,
the secondary and tertiary aromas are much more expressed into black
tea leaves, licorice, vanilla, chocolate and hint of coffee and tobacco.
Retaining good acidity and balance till the long deserved finish. Drink it
now or maximize its potential storing for at least 30 years…this wine will
keep your interest alive delivering constant emotions time after time.

Vinification
For this wine, a number of exceptional vineyards have been selected which are in the form of a terrace and have been given the name Scarnocchio. The grapes are picked in mid-October, after which they are dried under controlled conditions for 130 to 140 days. The alcoholic fermentation occurs very slowly in stainless steel barrels with a long maceration in order to release the aromas to the maximum. The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels and barriques. 90% mature further in large oak barrels of 30 hectoliters for 36 months, and the remaining 10% in barriques, both French oak. After bottling, the Amarone remains in the bottle for at least 12 months before it is for sale.

About Az. Monte del Frá
The domain of Monte del Frà is situated in the heart of the Custoza region, east of Lake Garda, 15 km from the center of Verona. It was founded in 1958 by the Eligio brothers and Claudio Bonomo. Today the domain covers around 100 hectares. All vineyards are fully equipped with an irrigation system, so that the vines receive the necessary nutrition every season, which forms a perfect basis for the Monte del Frà wines.
Thanks to the dedication of the Bonomo family and the attention they devote to every step of the production process, the wines became very popular, both in Italy and throughout Europe. Their wines have been selected on the international market as the most representative of the Verona region.
