After being carefully selected, the grapesare left to dry for around 20-25 days, concentrating the flavours and enriching the aromas and softness, which find the prefect balance after approximately two years of ageing.

Winemaker's note :

A family of long-standing from Valpolicella, the Speri company is a great and traditionalist producer of one of the most prestigious wines: the Amarone.
