Vinification of the Ansari Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Tedeschi

The grapes for the Ansari Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG grow in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Valpolicella region. Here, they benefit from a unique microclimate that offers ideal conditions for ripening. The aromas develop optimally on the well-ventilated slopes, which feature diverse soils.

1. Cultivation: The main grape varieties are Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. These grapes benefit from careful cultivation. The grape harvest is done manually to select only the best specimens.

2. Harvest: After harvesting, the grapes are spread out on wooden racks to dry. This occurs in traditional Amarone drying chambers, also known as "fruttaio." The drying process can take up to three months and intensifies the flavors.

3. Vinification: After the drying process, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This step gives the wine its freshness and fruitiness. The maceration is long to optimally extract the pigments and tannins.

4. Aging: The wine subsequently matures in oak barrels for at least 18 months. This period allows the Ansari Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG to further develop its characteristic aromas. The final bottle aging ensures harmony and elegance.
