Amarone is produced in small quantities using traditional methods. It is characterized by carefully selecting grapes & drying them before wine-making. During this process of aging, in specially made barrels, the wine acquires its organoleptic characteristics & is embellished. It is rich in alcohol, glycerin, very structured & powerful, but nevertheless elegant. Quite unlike any other wine in the world. It can be stored for more than twenty years. Deep garnet in colour, it is characterized by rich aromas of walnut & currant jam, with a dry, velvety & generous body. Serving temperature: 18-20 degrees C. Corvina Veronese: 70%, Rondinella: 25%, Molinara: 5%. Amarone is made from a selection of grapes which are left to dry until late winter in a ventilated place. After the harvest, the grapes are dried for about 4 months which means a loss of weight of about 50%. Fermentation is then completed at a temperature between 18 & 22 degrees C followed by Approx. 20 days soaking. Maturation is in wood with further refining in the bottle for about 3 years, before selling. ...

After soft treading of the grapes, fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 20 days. Then maturation for about 3 month & bottling. Soave is a straw yellow colour, almost green sometimes. It's known to be delicate & light, perhaps with a hint of almonds. Think perfumes & gentle flowers. Gentle acidity. A slightly bitter after-taste. Soave is best as an aperitif before dinner, or with hors d'oeuvres or soups. It can also go with light dishes, like simple vegetables, rice, pasta, & the like. It's best served around 14
- 16 degrees C. The history of Venetian wine has special roots. In the Middle Ages they drank wine from every province in the Veneto, each with its own characteristics. The hilly area around Verona produces light, meltingly fruity wines with real character. A very small portion of the district's production is represented by the fiery Amarone, the speciality of Verona. Garganega: 95%, Trebbiano di Soave: 5%.

Terre Di Valgrande - Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2013 6x 75cl Bottles

Intense garnet colour with brick red glints; distinct taste of red berries and a hint of liquorice, providing a slightly bitter aftertaste. Ripasso is an Italian term meaning re-passed. It is a technique that adds additional flavour and alcohol to the Valpolicella. The unpressed grape skins to make raisinated wine called Amarone are added to the already blended and fermented Valpolicella. This adds an incredible amount of body, character, and style to the typically simple wine. The benefits of this process are oxidized and botrytis flavours and additional tannins. The tannins give this wine a few extra years in the cellar as well. Maturation in wood and refining in bottle for about 2 years before selling. Serving temperature: 18-20 degrees C. Corvina Veronese: 70%, Rondinella: 25%,
Croatina: 5%.
