WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Amarone della Valpolicella ai Colli Vivaldi 2021 involves the crucial 'appassimento' technique, where harvested grapes are air-dried for approximately 100-120 days. This process concentrates the sugars and flavors within the grapes. Vinification cannot commence before December 1st. The fermentation is typically slow, contributing to the wine's full body.
