Viticulture
The vineyards cultivation is on the hill of the little towns around Verona.
The grapes are still hand-picked up and placed in cases.
Grapes are then allowed to dry to concentrate the remaining sugars and flavours.
In Amarone, the quality of the grape skin is a primary concern as that component brings the tannins, colour and intensity of flavour to the wine.
The process of desiccation not only concentrates the juices within the grape but also increases the skin contact of the grapes. The drying process further metabolizes the acids within the grape and creates a polymerization of the tannins in the skin which contribute to the overall balance of the finished wine.
Following drying, the grapes are crushed and go through a fermentation process. After fermentation, the wine is then aged.
