✨ Technical Specifications

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is one of Italy's most prestigious red wines, produced in the Veneto region by Cantina di Soave under the Pagus Bisano label. It is made using the traditional appassimento method, where hand-harvested grapes are dried for several months to concentrate sugars, acids, and flavors before fermentation. This results in a full-bodied, complex wine with intense notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and spice.
