Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

Tenuta Sant’Anna Amarone, the most prestigious appellation of Valpolicella, is elegant yet modern, with an intense and enveloping flavour. A brand new wine into the catalogue, the ideal choice for a special occasion.

Production Area:

The vines are grown on hilly and also
terraced land at approximately 150
metres above sea level. The soil is limeclay, moderately alkaline and at times
calcareous. It lies on marl that dates back
to the Eocene era, meaning that stony
soil containing fossils may be expected
or even abundant. The soil is of average
permeability and has a shallow capacity
for holding water.

Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand
following the careful selection of the
bunches most suited to withering. Once
placed on racks, they are left to rest in
the drying room for at least three months.
During this period, they lose, on average,
approximately 40% of their weight.
Crushing takes place at the beginning
of February with the destemming of
the grapes. Fermentation temperature
ranges from 12° to 23°C. Slow maceration
lasts for 30 days, 12 of which at low
temperature.

Manual punching-down is carried out
three times a day and followed by
malolactic fermentation.

Taste:

COLOUR: Intense garnet red colour, dense
and compact.
BOUQUET: Intense aromas of black fruits
such as black cherry and blueberries. On
the finish, notes of dried fruits and raisins.
PALATE: Full-bodied and softly elegant,
with an intense and enveloping flavour.
