ABOUT THIS WINE
Soprasasso Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG is a red wine from the Veneto region of Italy, specifically the Valpolicella sub-region. Produced by MGM Mondo del Vino, it is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Molinara grapes. A defining characteristic of this wine is the 'appassimento' process, where the grapes are dried for 100 days post-harvest, a traditional technique that concentrates their sugars and flavors. The wine undergoes a minimum of two years of aging in oak barrels. MGM Mondo del Vino, founded in 1991, emphasizes quality and inspiration in its winemaking, operating with a technological approach and a focus on green initiatives. The name 'Soprasasso' may allude to the stony terroir of the region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Soprasasso Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG begins with the harvest of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Molinara grapes. A defining technique is 'appassimento', where the harvested grapes are dried for 100 days to concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following this, the grapes are pressed, and the resulting must undergoes fermentation. The wine then matures for a minimum of two years, with at least one year in oak barrels, a process that contributes to its structure and complexity. MGM Mondo del Vino employs a technological approach alongside green initiatives in its winemaking.
