Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby-red color with an intense, full and rich bouquet. Rounded on the palate with classic black cherry flavors and a long, complex finish.
|
Aging:
Two years in traditional Slavonian oak barrels (25-50 hl) and 3 months in bottle before release.
|
Winemaking:
Due to the very high sugar content and natural yeasts, a long, slow fermentation (45 days) is carried out in stainless steel tanks at the low temperature of 77 F (25°C). These tanks are specifically designed for the fermentation of Amarone to allow permanent contact with the skins.
|
Food Pairing:
Ideal with roasts, game and cheese, but also a great wine to sip slowly in company
