Amarone della Valpolicella
Classico DOCG
“Il Bosco” 2019

Warm
velvety
delicate

The blend is led by Corvinone, complemented by Corvina and Rondinella, all harvested from “Il Bosco” vineyard in Castelrotto. After undergoing the traditional “appassimento” method, the grapes are aged first in stainless steel, then in barriques and tonneaux, and finally in the bottle.

Spring 2019 was cool and rainy, following a hot March. The summer was very hot with two heatwaves and some localized hail, but the rain in Spring helped maintain water reserves to counter the dry heat in June.

Deep red with garnet reflections. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, chocolate, and sweet spices. On the palate, it’s medium-full, velvety, warm, complex, and elegant, with a finish of wild berries, a sweet-and-sour twist, and soft tannins.

climate trend

The Spring of 2019 was generally cool and rainy, although it began with a hot and dry March. It was followed by a very hot summer, with two heatwaves at the end of June and July. Summer was more unstable than the previous two years, with localized hail events, particularly in July and August. June, on the other hand, was dry, with rain levels below average. Overall, the growing season can be considered quite rainy, with a good water reserve gathered during Spring, which helped mitigate the dry heat in June.

vinification & maturation

Selected grapes are left to dry until December inside small crates in spacious, well-ventilated drying rooms ('Fruttaio'). Here, grapes lose 30% of their weight and increase their sugar concentration, a crucial step for the subsequent fermentation. This occurs after a cold maceration of 8 days at 6°C (43°F). The total ageing period lasts 3 years, with 12 months spent in oak barrels and 6-8 months in the bottle.

tasting notes

Intense red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it expresses typical aromas of cherry, blackberry, chocolate, and sweet spices. On the palate, it has a medium-full body. Velvety and warm, the wine is complex yet delicate and elegant. The finish, preceded by distinct notes of wild berries, surprises with a sweet-and-sour twist and soft tannins.
