The Ancestor of Amarone

Withering and Fermentation
After the harvest, the selected grapes are placed in boxes or placed on racks for a controlled drying period. This process, which lasts about 3-4 months, allows the grapes to concentrate their sugars and aromas, giving the wine a complex structure and natural sweetness.
Subsequently, the dried grapes are pressed and the must obtained ferments slowly at a controlled temperature. During fermentation, the wine acquires intense aromas, a high alcohol content and a pleasant sweetness.
