Amarone della Valpolicella Campo dei Gigli 2017

Campo dei Gigli 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Tenuta sant'Antonio is produced from: 70 % Corvina, 20 % Rondinella, 5 % Croatina and 5 % Oseleta; its grapes are grown in the commune of Mezzane di Sotto, Verona, on white calcareous, loamy and sandy soil, at an altitude of 300 m above sea level, with the Veronese pergola training system.

After a very scrupulous selection of the grapes, the grapes are left to dry for 3 months, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel for 2/3 weeks while the malolactic fermentation takes place in 500 l tonneaux, the batonagge is carried out once a week for the first year, finally the ageing takes place for 3 years in new tonneaux.

The end result is a wine with an important organoleptic profile: balanced, broad on the palate and nose, very intense, structured and persistent. Not for nothing is it the flagship wine of this winery, never disappointing, year after year, the high expectations.
