Villa of Negrar, at an altitude between 260 and 280 m a.s.l. The hilly area on which the DolceVera vines stand ensures optimal sun exposure for the ripening of the grapes and a balanced and more alcohol-rich production.

Organic in the process of certification

Amarone della Valpolicella DolceVera, is obtained from the best grapes harvested in late September and early October. After undergoing an extremely accurate selection process, they are put in boxes of 6 kg each and then to dry in a straw mat for about 3 months.

After a weight loss of 40%, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed, the fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24°C and the maceration on the skins lasts approximately 30 days. What is obtained is a sumptuous and valuable wine with notable alcohol content and an equally impressive structure.

This Amarone is refined in barrels of 7,5 ht and then makes a passage in large barrels. All for a period of 36 months. For the aging, we use both the French oak that releases soft and silky notes on the wine, and that of Slavonia, which lead to an aromatic body of very rich spices. Everything takes place in the small cellar built near the main vineyard of Villa.
