The result of a refined blend of \u003cstrong\u003eCorvina\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCorvinone\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRondinella\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it presents a fascinating deep garnet colour with ruby highlights. This Amarone is distinguished by a complex and enveloping aromatic profile, capable of winning you over with its full texture and firm tannins. Its warm and structured notes make it a wine with great ageing potential, perfect for those seeking a deep and memorable tasting experience. On the palate, it reveals itself as smooth and harmonious, a true tribute to the winery's historic Amarone, originally created to celebrate the 1950 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary wine comes from the breezy hills north-west of Verona, in the historic heart of the Valpolicella area. The vineyards, located in the municipality of \u003cstrong\u003eSan Pietro in Cariano\u003c\/strong\u003e at an altitude of about two hundred metres, benefit from an ideal microclimate for grape cultivation. After the harvest, the bunches are transferred to higher altitudes, to the \u003cstrong\u003edrying lofts (fruttai) of Torbe di Negrar\u003c\/strong\u003e, at about four hundred and fifty metres. Here, natural air currents favour an optimal drying process (appassimento), which is essential for preserving the aromatic and structural integrity of the fruit. This specific combination of altitude, climate and soil composition gives the wine an unmistakable richness and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the traditional technique of \u003cstrong\u003edrying the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, which rest for about one hundred and twenty days to concentrate sugars and aromatic components. Towards the end of January, the bunches undergo a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-fermentation maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a slow fermentation at a controlled temperature and a post-fermentation maceration. Ageing is a crucial step: the wine initially matures in small oak barrels, before continuing in \u003cstrong\u003elarge casks\u003c\/strong\u003e for an extended period, developing breadth and roundness. Finally, it rests in the bottle before being released, ensuring a powerful and persistent sip that fully enhances the character of the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated to celebrate the historic 1950 vintage, signed by the grandchildren of the founders of \u003cstrong\u003eCantina di Pedemonte\u003c\/strong\u003e, this wine fully embodies Bolla's historic Amarone. The company, founded in 1883, is recognised as a pioneer in the \u003cstrong\u003eappassimento method\u003c\/strong\u003e of drying grapes. Under the meticulous care of winemaker Christian Zulian, the prized bunches from \u003cstrong\u003eTorbe di Negrar\u003c\/strong\u003e concentrate their natural aromas before the winter vinification, which takes place in January. A true tribute to the great Venetian winemaking tradition and the winery's unmistakable identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bolla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269001031851,"sku":"62944","price":37.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bolla-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-le-origini-riserva-2019_62944_1_c4c61dc0-2ce6-4b35-b63f-cac431b3393b.webp?v=1792414614","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/bolla-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-le-origini-riserva-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
