We have made a conscious decision to use all the grapes from this vineyard for the making of this wine, thus eliminating the selection of the best grapes for the making of an Amarone, as tends to be common practice in the Valpolicella region. We have also chosen not to employ the currently fashionable technique of “ripasso” which involves macerating the must of another wine with the pressings of Amarone as we feel the grapes are of such a high quality that this “corrective” measure is unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGRAPE VARIETIES\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella and Molinara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eREGION OF ORIGIN\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e The historically “classic” zone of the Valpolicella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSOIL\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e The soil is mainly clay-limestone with a high proportion of rock and stone : this particular type of soil yields wines of great finesse and elegance, characteristics essential for long living wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVINEYARDS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e The vineyard is on a hillside at an altitude ranging from 150 to 300 meters above sea-level with an exposure to the east.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e Vintage generally begins in the last ten days of September and continues until the end of October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFERMENTATION AND AGEING\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e This Valpolicella is fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks with the temperature kept at a maximum of 25°C.
