Description

History
Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region, the Farina winery boasts a long-standing tradition of producing high-quality wines. The Amarone, in particular, results from meticulous grape selection and a production process that honors ancient traditions, ensuring a product of excellence recognized internationally.

Grapes used

• 50% Corvina
• 20% Corvinone
• 20% Rondinella
• 10% Molinara, Oseleta, and Turchetta

Production method
Grapes are hand-harvested and left to dry in traditional drying rooms for about four months, losing 40% of their weight. Fermentation occurs slowly in stainless steel vats, followed by 18 months of maturation, divided between barriques (30%) and Slavonian oak barrels (70%). The wine is then refined in cement tanks and subsequently in the bottle to achieve the desired harmony and balance.
