Grappa di Amarone
This is obtained using the same grapes as for Valpolicella, but coming from a specific piece of land located on the hill. As these vines produce fewer grapes they have a higher sugar content and are extremely tannic. They are vinified using the normal procedure, by fermenting the must with the skins for about 8 days, again making sure that the temperature never exceeds 25°C. Moreover, in order to use the term "Superiore", it must have a 11,5% natural alcohol content of at least. The difference is not only in the grapes, but also in the famous "rigoverno" technique that consists of tapping off the Valpolicella wine and then once again passing it through the dried marc of Recioto and Amarone, which is still filled with sweet juice. These are production methods used only for Valpolicella. The wine thus obtained has qualities similar to Amarone: robust, scented, deep red/grenadine in colour with different hues of orange, and ideal for bottle ageing. This elegant, noble wine, suitable for the most demanding palates, may only be drunk after it has aged for one year in the bottle.
