Savvy Wine
This wine is produced only with autochthonous grapes from the vineyard with the same name, located in the Valpolicella Classica hills. As a result of the refermenting process on the Amarone lees of young Valpolicella processed in October, and using the traditional “ripasso” technique, this wine gains a fuller body and stronger aromas. It has a sharp and bold character, with good structure, balanced by a perfect harmony between fruit and spices.
Production Technique
Manual harvesting from mid-September.
Vinification: Pressing and destemming immediately after harvesting. Fermentation with a good maceration and at least two pumping overs per day, racking and cleaning. The refermentation on the marc of Amarone in January gives it deeper color, structure, and alcohol.
Ageing: 50% in Slavonian oak barrels of 20 and 50 Hl, 50% in barrique, following ageing in the bottle
