Winemaking process:
After harvest the best bunches are laid in wooden trays and left to dry naturally for three to four months in a loft at 300 metres, concentrating sugar and flavour before fermentation. Torre d'Orti grows the rare native Oseleta alongside Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. Amarone means 'the great bitter one', marking it as a dry wine.
Interesting notes:
Amarone is often called a "meditation wine", meant to be sipped and savored slowly.
