QUALIFICATION: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico ”Corte Vaona” – Organic.

WINE CLASSIFICATION: Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin – VQPRD

GRAPE VARIETIES: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and other native grapes.

SELECTION: This Amarone was named “Corte Vaona” to highlight the ancient paved farmyard in front of the manor house, home to the Novaia winery, owned by the Vaona family since the 18th century. “Selection” refers to the grapes carefully selected from the vineyards owned by the Vaona brothers, resulting in a smooth, balanced wine that can perform consistently year after year, smoothing out any differences due to the vintage's climatic conditions.

HARVEST TIME AND PROCEDURE: Third ten days of September with manual harvesting of the grapes destined for drying. Natural over-ripening in a traditional hillside drying room (400 m above sea level) for approximately 100 days.

VINIFICATION: Destemming and soft pressing of the grapes during the winter; fermentation at a controlled temperature in truncated cone-shaped oak vats for at least 30 days.

REFINEMENT: 24 months in wooden barrels, 8 months in bottle.

AGING AND STORAGE CAPACITY: If well stored, it can withstand aging for 10 years or more. It is recommended to store the bottle lying down in a dark, cool place with constant humidity and temperature.

TASTING PROFILE: Deep garnet red in color; intense aromas of black cherry and cherry, combined with the typical notes of drying. Spicy nuances of dark chocolate and tobacco are characteristic, along with the appearance of tarry notes with aging. On the palate, balanced alcohol content, high extract, generous body, smoothness, and a persistent finish, with a particularly intense mineral note that lends the product its distinctive character.

RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS: Rich dishes, red meats, grilled, roasted, braised, game, and mature cheeses. A great meditation wine.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 18°C, leaving the wine to decant for at least an hour before serving.

FORMATS: 750 ml.
