WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Leverato 2017 begins with the harvest of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. The defining technique is *appassimento*, where the harvested grapes are dried for approximately 120 days. This process concentrates the sugars, flavors, and aromas. Following drying, the grapes are fermented, a process that can be extended due to the high sugar concentration. The resulting wine then undergoes a minimum of two years of aging in oak barrels, contributing to its development and complexity before bottling.
