WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Vigneti di Osan Amarone della Valpolicella Classico begins with the traditional appassimento process, where grapes are dried for several months to concentrate sugars and flavors. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures over an extended period. The wine is then aged for a substantial duration, typically involving French oak tonneaux, followed by time in stainless steel tanks and a final period of bottle aging before release. Corteforte employs organic and sustainable farming practices throughout its vineyard management.
