ANTONIO GALLONI - VINOUS 95 POINTS - "The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is impossible to ignore. Bright cherry-berry fruits burst from the glass, complemented by autumnal spices and a hint of blood orange. Energetic to the core, it features tart raspberry and citrus tones propelled by vibrant acidity, while a tactile mineral tinge adds crunch toward the close. A web of fine tannins frames the finish as the 2018 tapers off long and staining, leaving rosy inner florals to linger." - Eric Guido

WINERY NOTES - "The healthiest, ripest bunches of picked grapes undergo a unique drying process (Appassimento) that take place, on cases in a well naturally ventilated loft. The grapes lose at least the 35% of their original weight thereby concentrating sugar, aromatic compounds and noble tannins. In January grapes are gently crushed and the fermentation starts at low temperature(13-17 C). then, transfer to oak barrels of 700, 1500 and 3500 litres of various origins and composition and age."
