The Vaona family owns approximately 10 hectares of land. Located in the municipality of Marano, precisely in Valgatara in Paverno, in the heart of the historic area of Valpolicella. Hilly moraine vineyards south of Lake Garda. The hills are at an altitude of 200 meters with a perfect position in the sun. The fertile soils are ideal for producing the most famous and beloved wines, Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella.
The traditional Veronese pergola system (where the grapes grow high above the ground in a pergola) is still classically used in this area, but also the more modern Guyot system. The latter system encourages low yields of finer quality grapes.
The restructuring of the basement, carried out according to a functional need, uses natural gravity for the various processing stages, avoiding the excessive use of machines (pumps). Recently certified organic.
Selection of the best grapes from vineyards with calcareous soil. After being picked, the grapes are first dried for 5 weeks, then gently pressed, after which the wine remains on its ‘lie’ for at least a year. (in stainless steel)
The wine has a deep ruby red color. The aroma is intense with notes of red fruit, blackcurrants and cherries. The taste is nicely balanced with a strong presence of tannins that make it fascinating and also elegant. It can be perfectly combined with white and red meat and aged cheeses. For a full and intense taste experience, this wine is best served in a wide glass. We recommend uncorking the bottle 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
