GRAPPA AMARONE

 

VINTAGE: 2000

ALCOHOL CONTENT: 50 %

GRAPE VARIETIES: Molinara, Rondinella, Corvina, Corvinone, and Oseleta grapes.

MAJOR GROWING AREAS: Fondo Cereolo, Monte Tenda, Castello. The altitude of the vineyards ranges from 140m a.s.l. to 290m a.s.l.

DISTILLATION METHOD: After having collected the pomace used to produce Amarone, a light pressing is carried out. Subsequently, the pomace - which is still steeped in wine - is immediately distilled using a discontinuous method at low pressure.

CHARACTERISTICS: The discontinuous, low-pressure distillation method maintains the aromas and fragrances of the raw materials, leaving an aftertaste reminiscent of blackberries, with a hint of almonds in the lingering finale.
