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!
Tasting Notes
COLOR: Typical dark ruby-red with bright highlights
NOSE: Intense, ample with scents of dry fruit, citrus zest and
spices. Reveals tobacco, Mediterranean herbs.
TASTE: Velvet, warm and full on the palate with soft tannins and a
long memorable finish.
Production Notes
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
Pairings
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!!!
