Vinification
After pressing and destemming, fermentation is set off at controlled

February, the wine is then left on the dried skins of the Amarone

the wine is transferred into barriques of various capacity
and toasting, where it stays for 8 months before assembling and
bottling. Ageing in bottle for 2-3 months.
