ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Elegant and complex, Amarone della Valpolicella Vaio Armaron Serego Alighieri wine was born in Veneto, in Gargagnago di Valpolicella. Its name pays tribute to the noble Alighieri family, the first owners of the vineyards from which the wine originates and direct descendants of the great poet Dante. Today the wine is produced and bottled by Cantina Masi agricola, founded by the Boscaini family, which continues the Alighieri family's winemaking activities. A noble and important version of the classic Amarone, this still red wine combines the grapes of 3 GRAPE varieties, Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella, creating an exclusive collector's blend.
The extraordinary quality of its grapes can be attributed to the benevolent climate of Valpolicella and the generous soil, rich in humus, limestone and clay.
During harvesting, the berries are hand-selected and then dried for 120 days. Thanks to this particular technique, of which Masi winery is considered an excellent interpreter, Amarone della Valpolicella Vaio Armaron Serego Alighieri wine acquires a remarkable aromatic intensity and an aristocratic taste. Fully respectful of tradition is the fermentation, which takes place in large stainless steel tanks. Aging is long and consists of several stages: after 36 months spent in Slavonian oak barrels, the wine is poured into cherry wood casks and, subsequently, bottled. Thanks to the uniqueness not only of the grapes that make it up, but also of its production process, this DOCG red wine continually garners prestigious Italian and international AWARDS.
