Vintage details

The 2019 vintage was characterized by balanced weather conditions: mild springs and a sunny summer, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. These conditions allowed for regular grape ripening, ensuring complex aromas and a remarkable sugar concentration. The result is an Amarone with marked freshness and a perfect balance between power and finesse.

Winemaking and aging

After manual harvesting, the grapes are left to dry for about 90 days in a "fruttaio" (drying room), a well-ventilated environment where the grapes naturally concentrate sugars and aromas. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation at a controlled temperature and a long maceration on the skins, which extracts color and soft tannins. Aging continues for over three years in French oak barrels, where the wine acquires complexity and depth before bottling.
