The vineyards are situated at 100-400 metres above sea level in the hills outside Verona, in the Valpantena Valley, on south and southeast facing slopes. Selected grapes were hand harvested in mid-September and left to dry in purpose-built ventilated rooms until the end of January. This Amarone was matured in French oak barriques for 18 months and transferred into concrete tanks for final maturation before filtration and bottling.

This Amarone is deep and intense on the nose with aromas of dried cherries, plums, spiced autumn fruit compote and chocolate. On the palate, it is powerful with a lovely balance of ripe, silky tannins and a spicy, concentrated savoury cherry fruit character. A touch of woodsmoke completes the long finish.
