Production process
This special reserve wine is produced only in the best vintages, and in very limited quantities. Just the healthiest grapes from the “Campo Inferi” vineyard are first of all selected and picked by hand at the beginning of October. They are then laid out in shallow crates and placed in the drying lofts under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity for four months. After further strict selection, the bunches are pressed in January, having lost around 40% of their initial weight. Fermentation, which takes place very slowly because of the low ambient temperatures, lasts around 40 days. The wine thus obtained then begins its process of maturation in 18 hl oak casks for 36 months. At the end of this period the Amarone Riserva “Campo Inferi” is bottled and left to rest for 12 months prior to being released onto the market.

Tasting notes
It reveals a deep ruby color with a faintly amber rim. In its sophisticated and elegantly refined bouquet one finds notes of sweet cocoa and roasted coffee beans. Its flavor is warm and mouth-filling, and evokes melted chocolate and cherries preserved in brandy: it is full-bodied and velvety. The aftertaste is satisfying, sumptuous and persistent.

Serving suggestions
Enjoy it on its own or as an ideal accompaniment for main courses of grilled, braised or stewed red meats. It is also delicious with game, guinea fowl with truffles, or with mature cheeses.

Serving temperature
18°C (64°F), opening the bottle two hours beforehand.
