Amarone is made in a slightly unusual way in that the grapes are traditionally harvested and then dried on straw mats before being made into wine. This concentrates their flavour and the result is a rich, complex, raisiny wine.
Complex aromas of floral notes and ripe fruit with hints of bramble and leather and a dense, richly fruited palate.

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
With 39ha of vineyards, including 15ha of the oldest and most prestigious land in the region, the Nicolis family is well placed to produce excellent wines.
The wines run the whole range of the Valpolicella spectrum, from the anything but basic Classico and Classico Superiore, which establish a house style of vibrant, bright cherry fruit and ripe, elegant tannins, up to the epic dry Amarone and sweet Recioto. These latter two are made from grapes that are dried out almost to raisins in aerated lofts, concentrating the intensity of flavour.
The Italian phrase "vino da meditazione" is very apt indeed. In between these two extremes, is the Seccal Ripasso which combines the juiciness of the Valpolicella with some of the Amarone's spice and power.
