Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
Our best Amarone della Valpolicella is “Il Fornetto”, made with the grapes that grow in the family historical vineyard. This aromatic and tasteful red wine is produced in limited quantity and has a strong and extraordinary vigor. Thanks to its flavored structure, it can age up to twenty years.
Oenological
practice
Only grapes from the best vintages in the vineyard “il Fornetto” are selected and placed in 6 kg trunks to rest in our orchards to rest for 120 days. During the drying period, a sequence of biochemical processes carried out by microorganism like Botritis Nobile, transform part of the sugar into glycerine.
After crushing the grapes, the long maceration and month-long alcoholic fermentation, the result is a very structured and incredibly rich in aromas wine. 4 years of ageing in oak wood barrels follows, where it completes its malolactic fermentation, and then ages at least one year in bottles, maturing a distinctive personality.

Very deep ruby red colour. Broad bouquet with notes of cherry, dried fruits, vanilla, and a clear hint of black pepper and liquorice. The taste is full, with an exceptional strength but incredible elegance.
