Carra Amarone Della Valpolicella
$47.99
Valpolicella is called the “Valley that Flies” because every grape variety we grow in the
valley carries the name of a bird: Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, Dindarella. That is why
our Carra Amarone has wings to fly!
Amarone is the masterpiece wine resulted from the process that takes the name
of “APPASSIMENTO”. After a gentle hand pick harvest, the grapes are dried for three/four
months on straw mats to let the water evaporate thus concentrate the sugar content and the
aromas of the grape itself. Once pressed the juice ferments on the skins very slowly for about
40 days with frequent pump over to extract flavors and color. After fermentation the wine ages in
big Slovenian oak barrels for about 2 years, then we allow the wine to rest in the bottle for
another year before we release it. Excellent with roasted meat, game, steaks and aged cheeses
it changes the dinner into a special occasion. Great also after dinner as wine for meditation
with a good cigar in good company!!!
