Cesari Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018
Produced in the municipalities of Negrar, Marano di Valpolicella, Sant'Ambrogio, Fumane, San Pietro in Cariano in the historic area. The Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes carefully dropped on the gratings until mid-January, completed by refining in large oak barrels and long-standing bottles, giving us this great wine. It accompanies red meat, game and also as a wine at the end of the meal.

Colour

Ruby red, very dark.

Bouquet

Aromas of roses, black cherries in alcohol, currants, vanilla, cardamom, patchouli and a balsamic gust.

Flavour

The incisive tannins and freshness are smoothed by the alcoholic embrace and intertwine with a long mineral trail.

Pairing

It prefers combinations with game, grilled meat and stew, but also as a wine for conversation.

Vinification The drying process lasts until the end of January, during these months the bunches are constantly checked and eventually removed if damaged. At the end of the grapes lose 30-40% of their weight while increasing the sugar concentration, which is essential during the subsequent fermentation to ensure a significant alcohol content (around 15%). The maceration is done in contact with the skins for a period of 20-30 days. During fermentation, due to the high alcohol content produced, the yeasts should be highly selected and resistant to both alcohol and the cold (the period of fermentation of the Aromatherapy is between January and February). After the grinding, the product is started in steel tanks to carry out malolactic fermentation in the following months.
Ageing At this point, the ripening phase begins, which lasts for 3 years with ageing for 12 months in big barrels(Slavonia oak) and 20% in small woods, barriques and tonneaux (French oak). Prior to consumption, maturation is completed by a minimum of 6 months of rest in the bottle.
