Vinification
Grape-picking occurs in September; then, as foreseen by the famous Amarone production technique from Valpolicella, the grapes are kept in special airy rooms where they wilt until December/January. At the beginning of the new year, the grapes are de-stemmed and pressed. Berries and must are put into special wine tanks, where selected yeasts are inoculated to carry out fermentation. This takes place at a strictly controlled temperature (24-25 degrees C) to extract fruitier components of the berry skins and give great complexity to the wine. Frequent but quick pumping overs dissolve the substances in the grape skins, thus enriching the wine with clear notes of withered fruit and jam. Refinement takes place in barriques and big barrels for 24 months.
