Zanoni Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2015, Corvinone, Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, Quintana di Valpolicella, Italy

The icon and flag bearer of the world of Valpolicella, Amarone conveys the force and concentration of our grapes raisined according to traditional methods.

 

Harnessing the spontaneous identifiability and aroma of ripe grapes in a glass is the primary objective of our Recioto della Valpolicella d.o.c.g. The search for balance between seducing sweet smoothness, fresh drinkability and the tannic structure of a red wine is what makes this wine surprising, attractive and not sickly – and what makes a Recioto truly grand. To make it we rely on tradition and the spontaneity of nature that shaped this wine in the past. With a minimum contribution on our behalf, we confide in the monumental concentrations of original matter to secure the ability of this wine to surprise for many years to come.

 

After racking, the wine is transferred into French vats where sugar extraction is completed during the summer the malolactic fermentation starts. This is followed by aging for 24 months in total and bottling. Bottles are stacked for at least 24 months in a horizontal position before being put on the market. Properly stored bottles evolve and are able to age into new edges for up to 15 years after harvest.
