At high maturity, the grapes are harvested manually at the beginning of October, and the best bunches are selected. The grapes are then dehydrated under controlled conditions before pressing. This is done by leaving them to dry in the winery's cellars for 3-4 months, which means that the weight of the grapes is reduced by approx. 30%. This concentrates the sugar content and flavors the components in the must, which results in a powerful wine with a slightly sweet touch and a super flavor concentration.

In January and February, the de-stemmed grapes are carefully crushed. The must ferments at controlled temperatures of 18-21°C for approx. 30 days. After this, 80% matures the wine in oak for 18 months. 2/3 of this in used American and French oak casks and the last 1/3 in large barrels. The last 20% of the wine matures in steel tanks.

Finally, the Amarone is bottled, where it rests before being released for sale.

About the Vinhuset:

Casa Giona makes super delicious classic wines in the Veneto region of northern Italy. In the lush landscape east of Lake Garda we find Valpolicella, where the hilly landscape ensures perfect sun exposure for the vines. The soil, which consists of limestone, makes the area particularly suitable as a growing place for the Valpolicella district's classic grape varieties.
