Wine Fidora, “Domini del Leone” Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

Description

“Domini del Leone” Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG – elegant dry red wine, which is a classic blend of Valpolicella: Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. Due to its advantageous geographical location to the east of Lake Garda and favorable geoclimatic conditions, each variety reveals its potential to the maximum. The vines grow on limestone and marl-rich soil, at an altitude of 220-300 meters above sea level. The grapes are harvested by hand and then dried in large low boxes in the so-called “fruttayo” – a room with constantly high ventilation. During drying, the grapes lose 40-50% of their weight, which leads to a huge concentration of sugar in the berries, more like raisins. Three months after collection, fermentation begins in large steel tanks under strict temperature control with two daily must pumps. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 4 years.
