WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Speri Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018 begins with hand-harvested grapes from estate vineyards. A key technique is 'appassimento,' where the grapes are air-dried for 100-120 days to concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following drying, the grapes are crushed and fermented on their skins for about a month, typically starting in January or February. The wine is then aged in oak casks for approximately three years, contributing to its structure and complexity.
