Amarone is a noble wine produced with the best bunches hand picked and then laid flat in special wooden boxes for a 3/4-month drying process. Thanks to this method, the grapes increase their sugar concentration by 25-30%. In January the grapes are crushed and then the fermentation starts. After 25-30 days the must is transferred into stainless steel tanks. Once the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine matures in barriques (special barrels) for 24-36 months and then refined in bottles for some months. This wine is the result of top-quality grapes and can be produced only in the best vintages.
