Its \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e releases notes of red fruits, plum, cherry in spirit, sweet spices and cocoa.

The grapes grow in the Case Vecie vineyard in Grezzana, where an altitude of around two hundred and fifty metres and an eastern exposure ensure slow and steady ripening. This distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ecool microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the wine a defined texture, preserving its natural precision. Brigaldara cultivates these lands following strict \u003cstrong\u003esustainable farming practices\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the primary aim of protecting and enhancing the rich \u003cstrong\u003elocal biodiversity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in mid-October with the selection and manual harvesting of the bunches, destined for \u003cstrong\u003etraditional drying\u003c\/strong\u003e in crates for about one hundred and twenty days. The subsequent red vinification involves prolonged contact between the must and skins. During fermentation, daily pump-overs and délestage promote optimal colour extraction. Once this phase is complete, the wine rests in barrels for forty-eight months, a \u003cstrong\u003elengthy maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines its complex structure. This is followed by a final period to perfect the \u003cstrong\u003etaste balance\u003c\/strong\u003e and harmonise the tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the ancient Brigaldara estate, this Amarone takes its name from the Case Vecie vineyard in Grezzana, an oasis of biodiversity where the cool microclimate encourages optimal grape ripening.
