The grapes are pressed and destemmed, then macerated on the skins for 15 days, with remontages and fermentation at controlled temperature of 24-25° C. Placed in steel tanks until February, the product is then left on the skins of the Amarone where it ferments again, enhancing the structure and aromas of the wine. Later, it is transferred to barriques of various capacity and toasting, where it stays for 12 months. Fining in bottle for 8-12 months.
