Contrada Palui Amarone della Valpolicella, 2019

Contrada Palui Amarone della Valpolicella, 2019

Regular price $120.00

This Amarone is made from 60% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, and 10% Rondinella, from vines grown on clay-limestone soils rich in flint and black basalt. The grapes for Amarone are always dried for a few weeks before being vinified, and produce very concentrated flavors. The wine is fermented until it is dry, and the extra sugar from drying results in slightly elevated alcohol levels. Contrada Palui's expression is aged partly in large barrel and cement, helping the wine maintain its freshness and acidity. Pair with a seared duck breast with cherries and port sauce

Details

From the producer's website: Fully ripe and loosely berried grapes are hand selected into small boxes and left to dry for 1,5-2 months in a ventilated covered space. As a result, water evaporates and all the other components of the grapes – extracts, sugar, acidity, tannins – are concentrated and microbiological processes lead to a further development of the grapes. After drying the grapes are gently destemmed and the berries undergo a long fermentation process in
steal barrels at controlled temperature which never reaches more than 22 degrees Celsius.

Total maceration time is 30+ days until the residual sugar is practically nil, followed by aging in French oak barriques and
tonneauxs of first and second passage for at least 24 months. A portion of the wine is kept in red clay amphorae
to heighten the fruity and floral notes of the wine. After bottling it ages in the bottle for at least 24 months.
