Vintage 2013 was characterized by specific climatic conditions which fostered the vegetative cycle of the vine, encouraging slow but optimal ripening of the grapes. In autumn the climate was generally mild with temperatures above the seasonal average, followed by a very rainy and snowy winter. The mild conditions continued throughout spring. The grapes enjoyed gradual ripening, which came about, above all, mainly by virtue of light rather than heat, and this led to the synthesis of high quality elements such as the accumulation of polyphenolic substances in the red grapes. The months of July and August were crucial, with their high temperatures and highly-beneficial day-night temperature variations, which were very important for ideal ripening. The climate during harvesting in September and October was mostly good even if it was interspersed with days of heavy rain.

Tasting notes

The Mazzurega vineyard at 400 metres above sea level provides the grapes for the production of this sumptuous Amarone. The south-easterly exposure guarantees perfect ripening of the bunches that enjoy cooler temperatures at night and thus capture a fine aromatic range of expression. The long ageing process in the cellar gives the aromas further depth and layers, with the fruit moving forward to leave more and more space for spicy and medicinal herbal notes. The impact is decisive and powerful on the palate, with the mouthfeel gaining in tautness and finesse thanks to the sinuous acid thrust.

Ageing

48 months in French oak barriques; 6 months blended together and approx. 1 years of ageing in the bottle.
