Wine Information
AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOC CLASSICO
Use of the classic method with this type of grape dates back some time in Lugana, with the cultivation and vinification of Lugana grapes ever since the 1960s, giving long experience and an understanding of every aspect of this cultivar.
It is also a project of great significance for it is a challenge and, at the same time, a gesture of love towards a grape that came into being and that grew together with the company, forming an inextricable bond between the two.
It was thus decided to make bubbles using the classic method in order to bring out even more from this grape, which is highly adaptable to different climatic and environmental conditions, adapting well to the clayey soil in the area to the south of Lake Garda.
