Amarone della Valpolicella Classico “Croce del Gal” Gold Label – RISERVA 2006
€134.96
Wine obtained from a rigorous selection of grapes; varieties are 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, continuing their slow natural aging, with a weight loss of 40-50%. In this way the concentration of sugar, colour and fragrance increases significantly. The very best grapes, selected during the pressing, give life to the special gold label.
