Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2022

Description

With a DOCG designation, this Amarone della Valpolicella - produced by Cantina Domini Veneti Negrar - is a dry red Italian wine made from dried grapes, originating in the Valpolicella region, in the province of Verona. Among the grape varieties used to produce this Amarone della Valpolicella are Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella. The grapes grow on clayey, sometimes calcareous soils located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico area, and are harvested between September and October, with a strictly manual selection. They are then left to dry on racks, where good ventilation must be ensured to avoid the formation of unwanted mold. Once the drying process is complete, it is vinified and subsequently aged in Slavonian oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months; finally, it is bottled and left to rest for a further 6-8 months.

We are professional and winegrowers working togheter with a wholehearted cooperative spirit, for the good of our winegrowing region: Valpolicella, more specifically, Valpolicella Classica, the homeland of Amarone. We are the young people of today and of yesterday, united by a great sense of responsibility for our people and for the environment in which we work. Producers, aware and responsible for the wines we love.

The spirit is the same as that of the visionary cooperative founded in 1933 by the seven businessmen from Verona, just as the very same principles guide our work on a daily basis today and inspire every new project: initiative, reciprocity and collaboration.

Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.

Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
