Lenotti Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG (750ml)

Produced in extremely limited quantities only in the best years from the best red grapes of Valpolicella ( 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta).  The grapes are from the classic Valpolicella north of Verona in the hills near the village of S. Ambrogio di Valpolicella.  The soil here is made up of clay and limestone of glacial and alluvial origin.   The wine is produced in extremely limited quantities only in the best years from the best red grapes of Valpolicella ( 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta) which are left to dry out in crates until late winter and are traditionally vinified in January-February.  The grapes are pressed and slowly fermented (sometimes fermentation lasts a few months).  The wine ages in oak wood butts for 3-5 years before bottling.
