Amarone, the flagship product of the Righetti company, is obtained with the ancient method of drying. From October to March, the best bunches of the Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella varieties are left to dry in special rooms, where the right level of humidity and ventilation allow optimal dehydration of the grapes. After the grapes are pressed and fermented, the wine is left to age for three years in oak barrels and barriques. The refinement then continues in the bottle for about 12 months.

The Amarone di Ca' Rugate "Punta 470" announces itself in the glass with a well concentrated garnet colour. The olfactory bouquet that emerges on the nose is broad, where various notes of small berry fruits such as blackberry, cherry and currant can be traced, alternating with spicy references. On the palate it has an excellent structure, powerful and energetic thanks to a round sip, which wraps the palate with softness; it closes with a finish of excellent persistence, characterized by an aftertaste that recalls the flavor of the dried grapes from which the Amarone production process is born. A label of important depth both on the nose and in the mouth, which comes from a meticulous production process, in which each phase of the production is followed with care and attention, until the wine, after a good period of refinement, is not ready to be bottled. A great expression, dense, intense and elegant. The "Punta 470" takes shape from the union between Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, varieties grown in soils rich in skeleton and limestone located in the hilly area of Montecchia di Crosara. The manual harvest begins during the second half of September, taking care to place the bunches in boxes without overlapping them, in order to guarantee correct ventilation. The bunches wither for 4-5 months in a fruit cellar, dehydrating and thus concentrating their sugary substances; then we proceed with the pressing, and the must obtained is fermented in steel. The wine ages for 30-36 months in 500-litre oak tonneaux and 25-hectolitre barrels.

You don't live on Amarone alone (unfortunately). But even a good Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC, like this Maciòn can give great satisfaction. The Collina dei Ciliegi, modern, well-exposed high-altitude vineyards, produces it from the Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes that ripen under the Valpantena sun. After vinification in red, this wine undergoes a second (slow) fermentation, activated by the pomace of Amarone and Recioto. This slow passage gives the wine greater complexity, without reaching the levels of the two noble older brothers. A phase of maturation in oak barrels follows which lasts for about 9 months and, subsequently, refinement in glass for another 6 months. Deep ruby red with good consistency, the nose is fragrant, with clear sensations of fruit jam reminiscent of plums and cherries. In the mouth, then, it has a decisive attack and a decidedly fruity soul. A wine with a good structure, it enjoys a very soft finish. On the table it goes very well with classic roasts and delicious first courses such as a rich baked pasta.
