Vinification Details
The harvest begins in mid-September with the manual selection of the grapes for the Amarone, which normally sees about 40% of the berries produced from each vine go to the drying lofts where they will remain until mid-December when fermentation begins. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation takes place in small French and American oak barrels. The aging in wood lasts about 18 months, up to the blending, which takes place a few months before bottling.
