The Appassimento of the grapes is a unique and particular technique of the Valpolicella Classica, which has always characterized the wines production for this area. The Appassimento of Amarone is a very critical and delicate process that requires a lot of experience in the vineyard, during the harvest and then in the fruttaio (drying of the grapes on reed or straw mats in well ventilated drying lodges or chambers). The grapes are manually selected in small boxes and only the best bunches are chosen, with the skins not too close to each together so that they let the air circulate. The boxes are stored in the fruttaio, a large local area above the cellar and they are periodically checked so that the drying takes place perfectly.

The best and full flavour of Amarone is achieved when it is decanted for at least 30 minutes before consumption
