WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Amarone della Valpolicella Casteloro is defined by the 'appassimento' method, a crucial step where harvested grapes are dried for 100-120 days to concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following this drying period, the grapes are fermented, often with extended maceration to maximize extraction. The resulting wine then undergoes a minimum of two years of aging in oak barrels, a process that contributes to its complexity and structure. The grape varieties used, primarily Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, are indigenous to the Valpolicella region and are integral to the wine's characteristic profile.
