WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Masi Campolongo di Torbe Amarone Classico begins with grapes from the specific Campolongo di Torbe vineyard. A defining technique is the appassimento process, where harvested grapes are naturally dried in traditional lofts throughout the winter months. This concentrates sugars, aromas, and flavors. Following this, the grapes are fermented, typically over an extended period to maximize extraction from the concentrated fruit. The resulting wine is then aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of two years, allowing for development of complexity and textural refinement before bottling.
