What kind of wine it is
The Domini Veneti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a red wine of great character, born from the meticulous drying of a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. This technique gives the wine an intense and ethereal profile, with deep aromas of maraschino cherry, dried plum and wilted flowers, enriched by elegant notes of cocoa and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, supported by velvety tannins that provide a long finish and a harmonious structure.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the characteristic dry-stone terraces located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, in the hilly area of Verona. The vineyards, cultivated between 150 and 450 metres above sea level, benefit from excellent sun exposure. The silty-clay soils, rich in limestone and resting on Eocene marl, give the structure and concentration typical of the denomination, allowing the Domini Veneti brand to authentically enhance the identity of a historic wine-growing area.
How it is produced
The manual harvest takes place between September and October, with a rigorous selection of the bunches destined for winter drying. In February, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to begin a slow fermentation at a controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for a long time in Slavonian oak barrels, before completing its ageing in the bottle. The result is a glass with a broad and complex sip, ideal for elegantly accompanying braised meats, game and mature cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Born in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG has represented the prestigious heritage of Cantina Negrar since 1933. The grapes, hand-picked on the picturesque dry-stone terraces, rest according to the traditional appassimento technique in the drying loft for around one hundred and twenty days. This process beautifully enhances the ethereal aromas, giving the wine an enveloping structure and velvety tannins. The meticulous ageing in Slavonian oak barrels consecrates a powerful and elegant wine, a true masterpiece of absolute balance.
