WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Magna Terra Amarone della Valpolicella involves the distinctive *appassimento* method, where harvested grapes are dried for 100-120 days to concentrate sugars and polyphenols. Following this drying period, the grapes undergo a slow fermentation process. The resulting wine is then aged in wooden barrels for an extended duration, typically around 24 months, to develop its structure and character. This meticulous process is central to achieving the wine's rich and complex profile.
