2020 Il Sasso Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Il Sasso's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico hails from the renowned Negrar subzone, specifically the Pigneto cru at over 300 meters elevation. The estate's terraced limestone vineyards provide varied sun exposures that allow for lower yields while retaining acidity. Winemaker Stefano employs a meticulous approach, harvesting different rows at optimal times based on each vine's specific exposition and varietal needs. The wine is crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes using the traditional appassimento method. This newcomer producer is making its mark in a valley historically known for legendary names like Giuseppe Quintarelli.
