Amarone della Valpolicella
Classico DOCG
“Il Bosco” 2018

Warm
velvety
delicate

Corvinone leads the blend, alongside Corvina and Rondinella, sourced from the vineyard “Il Bosco” in Castelrotto. Initially treated with the “appassimento” technique, they are first aged in stainless steel and then in barrique and tonneaux barrels before undergoing bottle ageing.

The sensory characteristics of Amarone Classico “Il Bosco” are due to the particular weather conditions of the 2018 vintage. Spring 2018 began with cold months followed by rising temperatures, culminating in a hot summer and autumn punctuated by thunderstorms.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG “Il Bosco” 2018 is a deep red wine with a distinctive aroma of cherry, blackberry, chocolate, and sweet spices. Its medium-to-full body showcases complexity, delicacy, and a bittersweet final twist.

climate trend

Spring 2018 is marked by rather cold temperatures, despite a decisive following increase. Summer is very hot and characterized by pronounced and occasionally very intense thunderstorms.

vinification & maturation

Selected grapes are dried in small crates until December in well-ventilated large rooms called ‘fruttai’. Grapes lose 30% of their weight and increase their sugar concentration, which is vital for the following fermentation (after cold maceration for 8 days at 6°C).

tasting notes

Intense red in colour with garnet hues. On the nose, it expresses a typical aroma of cherry, blackberry, chocolate and sweet spices that continues on the palate with a medium-full body. Velvety and warm, it is complex and, at the same time, delicate and elegant. The finish – anticipated by sharp hints of berries – surprises with a sweet and sour twist and soft tannins.
