Ugolini Valle Alta Amarone Della Valpolicella Single Vineyard Cru 2015

$150.00
Excl. tax

A single vineyard Amarone Cru that will inspire fascinating conversations at the table, on the sofa, or among the cracking flames of a warm fireplace. Decant for 1 hour before serving. Use a large balloon glass for maximum bouquet. Age-worthy 25-30 years.

Chosen because it sits 839 feet above sea level. The high elevation is a secret ingredient of the high quality wine that comes from it. A rarity in the Valpolicella. The vineyard is optimum for sun exposure and temperature variations that allow native Italian grapes to mature and develop complexity.

Hand-selection of the best hand-harvested grapes are air dried from October to March. An ancient Roman practice.

In March, only the finest of the air dried grapes are hand-selected cluster by cluster to macerate on the skins for another 2 months. The artisan wine ages in barrels made with forest French oak and rest in the bottle until ready for drinking. This process can take years depending on the vintage.
