Description
What kind of wine it is
Vigne Venete Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a red wine of great depth that captures the soul of the region through a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. To the eye, it displays an intense ruby red colour, enriched by elegant garnet highlights. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet dominated by notes of ripe fruit, such as cherry and plum, which blend with hints of sweet spices, cocoa, tobacco and a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is full and velvety, supported by soft tannins that lead the tasting towards a long and persistent finish, where pleasant fruity echoes return.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in the heart of the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico area, from vineyards situated on calcareous-clay hillside soils rich in marl. This specific geological composition gives the grapes an ideal balance, preparing them perfectly for the subsequent drying phase. The natural vocation of the soil imparts remarkable aromatic depth and a significant capacity for ageing over time. Careful vineyard management enhances the connection with the historic production area, ensuring an authentic and distinctive sip.
How it is produced
Production begins between the end of September and the beginning of October with manual harvesting, essential for selecting the best bunches destined for drying. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with a prolonged maceration of twenty to thirty days to best extract the polyphenolic components. The wine then matures for at least twenty-four months in large oak barrels or tonneaux, acquiring harmony and roundness. It is recommended to decant it about an hour before serving, to best enjoy it alongside braised meats, game or dark chocolate.

Born from the passion of the Vigne Venete winery, this Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG skilfully combines tradition and oenological innovation.
