This Amarone is an intense garnet-red in colour. With a delightful bouquet on the nose, which is intense and persistent with cherry hints. Velvety, slightly bitter, with cherry and bitter almonds, a classic Amarone.The vineyards are on the hill of the little towns around Verona at around 150 to 400 metres. The soil of Amarone is generally silt on loam rocks; compact red soil on basalt; compact red soil on Eocene limestone. Each valley gives different situations, although there is always a high calcareous concentration, with big stones in the first half metre of the ground. The grapes are still hand-picked up and placed in wooden cases, and this is usual done at dawn or late in the evening, to avoid the intense heat that the grapes may suffer during the day.
