WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Amicone involves the careful selection of indigenous red grapes from the Veneto region. A unique aspect of its winemaking is the treatment of the grapes, where a portion is harvested using a specific vineyard process, and another part is subjected to a special drying method in wooden crates under controlled temperatures. Following this preparation, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks for one part of the grapes. The wine then undergoes a slow maturation for 12 months in tonneaux, contributing to its development.
