WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Albasini involves the traditional 'appassimento' method, where harvested grapes are air-dried for approximately 120 days to concentrate sugars and flavors. Following this, the grapes undergo fermentation and extended maceration. The wine is then aged for one year in tonneau barrels, followed by four years in large wooden casks (botte grande). This meticulous process is designed to develop the wine's characteristic full body, complexity, and aging potential.
