Amarone della Valpolicella Classico “Croce del Gal” Blue Label – RISERVA 2012
€125.95
Wine made from dried grapes of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina selected in our best and oldest vineyards. The grapes are harvested only by hand in early October, then left to rest in boxes until February, where they continue their slow natural aging, with a weight loss of 40-50%. In this way the concentration of sugars, colors and perfumes increases significantly. To achieve this selection, Amarone “Croce del Gal” black label, is fermented slowly at low temperatures, on part of whole grapes for the production of Recioto “Croce del Gal”. The result is a unique Amarone, which captures the best features of Recioto and Amarone, in a poetic fusion of flavors and fragrances. This wine is produced in limited quantities.
