Amarone della Valpolicella, Il Canovino (75cl)

Made with only the best grapes manually harvested from the oldest vines from a vineyard located at about 250m altitude, dried for about 100 days resulting in a 60% weight loss, and pressed. The wine is then left to ferment for about 30 days and wooden aged, in big barrels, for 3 years plus another 12 months of bottle ageing.

The resulting Amarone della Valpolicella is big on the nose, complex, spicy with notes of cherries and prunes. In the mouth, the wine is full, velvety and smooth with a long finish. This is a wine that would benefit from decanting and pair perfectly meat, games and mature cheeses.
