This wine is made mainly from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes together with a small percentage of Molinara grapes. They are harvested exclusively by hand between the end of September and mid- October from the vineyard “Moròpio” in the Valpolicella Classica town of Marano di Valpolicella which is situated at 350 metres above sea level. Every year we produce 8000/9000 bottles of this Amarone which are sold using Burgundy bottles of 750 ml, sealed with a natural cork.
Amarone “Moròpio” is a ruby red colour with garnet reflections. There is an intense bouquet of dried flowers, black cherry jam and sour cherry. Hints of sweet spices, boero chocolate, wild flower honey, vine bark and green olives are detectable. It has a typical Marano taste- tart and elegant, dry and a little sweet, warm and smooth with a velvety, smooth tannin palate. The suggested serving temperature is 18/20° C and it goes well with game, stewed or braised red meat, grilled meats, mature and slightly piquant cheese. Try it with a donkey stew, too.
