After maceration on the pomace for over 2 months, the wine matures in large Slavonian oak ovals for a minimum of 5 years. From this moment on, regular topping-up is the only operation performed: time very gradually shapes the wine’s characteristics. It receives one years’ bott le-ageing. Amarone is produced only in the fi nest growing years. |
