Description
The Amarone of the “Il Bosco” vineyard is made into wine only when the grapes are perfectly healthy and in vintages of great quality. The vineyard is a small area where the vines are over 20 years old, and where a first selection is made favouring quality over quantity. During the grape harvesting, the grapes are selected and only the best will be placed in the "fruit cellars" for drying to then be pressed in the month of January. The wine is placed in barriques and in big Slavonian barrels to mature for two years. Once bottled, the wine is then aged further for an additional 6-8 months.

| Origin | "Il Bosco" vineyard, fraz. CastelRotto di San Pietro in Cariano (VR) |
| Harvest | During the grape harvesting, only perfectly unblemished and dry clusters are selected and placed in shallow cases in single layers. They are left to dry in selected well-aired locations, called fruit cellars, to avoid being attacked by mould. The drying process lasts until the end of January. During these months the bunches are constantly checked and discarded if damaged. At the end of the drying period, the grapes lose 30-40% of their weight and their concentration of sugar, an indispensable element during the following fermentation stage to ensure a noteworthy alcoholic level (around 15%), is increased. |
| Wine making | Maceration is carried out on contact with the skins for a period of 20-30 days. During fermentation, given the high alcoholic level that is produced, the yeasts must be strictly selected and be resistant both to alcohol and to cold (the Amarone fermentation period is between January and February). After drawing off the lees, the product is placed in steel vats in order to complete malolactic fermentation in the following months. |
| Aging | At this point, the maturation process, lasting two years with ageing in barriques (French oak) and in large barrels (Slavonian oak), will take place. Prior to the release of the product, the wine is left to mature for another 8 months in the bottles. |
