Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva by Monte Tondo (Italian Red Wine)

Monte Tondos Amarone Riserva is made from a blend of the best quality grapes they obtain from their vineyard in Valpolicella DOC. The grapes are hand-harvested in early October. After picking they put the grapes in boxes and leave them to dry in special, dry and well ventilated rooms called "fruttai". By the end of January, the grapes have lost around 40-45% of their juice and are ready for vinification. The wine is aged for 60 months in large slavonian oak barrel (30hl). The finished wine must be aged in bottle for a minimum of 6 months before release.
