The result of a careful \u003cstrong\u003eblend of native grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e such as Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, it expresses an intense and profound aromatic profile. On the palate, it is dry and powerful, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a balanced freshness. The long ageing perfectly integrates hints of cherry, blackcurrant and dried fruit with enveloping toasted notes of cocoa, vanilla and tobacco. A full-bodied glass that offers a \u003cstrong\u003elong and persistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for accompanying and enhancing game dishes and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the hills of the Valpolicella Classica, in particularly suitable areas located between Negrar and San Pietro in Cariano. The vineyards, cultivated using the Guyot system, benefit from excellent south-east exposure at around five hundred and fifty metres above sea level. The soil is strongly characterised by the \u003cstrong\u003emarl of Pietra di Prun\u003c\/strong\u003e, covered by a surface layer rich in humus. This particular geological composition ensures the grapes have an \u003cstrong\u003eextraordinary aromatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct territorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e and remarkable depth of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual harvest is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003enatural drying process in the fruit loft\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting three or four months, during which the bunches lose about a third of their weight to concentrate the aromas to the maximum. Between January and February, the destemmed grapes are gently pressed, starting a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about thirty days. The wine then undergoes a slow maturation of thirty-six months, maturing partly in steel and mainly in \u003cstrong\u003elarge barrels and barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e of French and American oak. A patient wait that shapes an elegant, harmonious and complex sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Amarone DOCG Classico from Tenute Salvaterra expresses the authentic essence of San Pietro in Cariano. The Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes undergo a slow \u003cstrong\u003enatural drying process in the fruit loft\u003c\/strong\u003e, which concentrates their aromas.
