It originates from the hills of \u003cstrong\u003eCastelrotto\u003c\/strong\u003e, the heart of Valpolicella Classica, where the calcareous soils and biodynamic viticulture enhance the complexity of the native grapes.\nThe main grape varieties are \u003cstrong\u003eCorvina\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCorvinone\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eRondinella\u003c\/strong\u003e, cultivated using the ancient \"vite maritata\" (married vine) technique, where the vines grow intertwined with natural willow supports, called \"stropa,\" from which the wine takes its name. The result is a full-bodied, elegant red with a genuine character, ideal for those seeking an Amarone with personality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2015 vintage is characterized by a balanced climate, with warm but not extreme summers and good temperature fluctuations that favored a complete maturation of the grapes. Manual harvesting, with careful selection of the best bunches, ensured only the healthiest and most concentrated grapes. After harvesting, the bunches are left to dry for about 3-4 months in special airy rooms, a period during which they lose some of their water, concentrating sugars and aromas.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nFermentation occurs spontaneously, thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally present on the skins, in open oak vats that favor a slow and controlled fermentation. The wine is then aged for at least \u003cstrong\u003e3 years in 25-hectoliter oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a rest of over 30 months in the bottle. This long maturation period allows for an balanced Amarone, powerful yet harmonious, capable of combining structure and finesse.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nAmarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Stropa' 2015 - Monte Dall’Ora is a wine of great depth, revealing the care and patience with which it was produced.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense garnet red\u003c\/strong\u003e, with deep ruby reflections, a sign of maturity and concentration. Its luminosity in the glass anticipates the aromatic richness that distinguishes it.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is broad and enveloping, with aromas of \u003cstrong\u003echerry in brandy\u003c\/strong\u003e, ripe plum, and balsamic notes. This is followed by hints of sweet spices, cocoa, and tobacco, which emerge elegantly after a few minutes in the glass. The unmistakable olfactory complexity of \"Stropa\" is the result of careful appassimento and a long aging in wood.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is full and velvety, with a full-bodied structure and silky tannins. The sweetness of the fruit is perfectly balanced with a fresh acidity that provides balance and invites another sip.
