You like Amarone style wines
A Valtellina speciality with its own DOCG
A fresher yet still bold Amarone style wine

The best Nebbiolo grapes are dried for 2 months in the “fruttaio” a ventilated area on the top floor of the CasaClima Wine cellar.

The fruit caresses the palate and brings an extended feeling of warmth, best shared in good company. The label portrays the ancestry of the court and it's people.

From grapes grown in the Valtellina Superiore area in the districts of Berbenno, Sondrio, Montagna e Teglio, between 350 and 500 metres above sea level

Vinification: The grapes are left to dry until early December, after the drying they’re carefully selected at the sorting table where not perfectly intact or affected by mold grapes are eliminated . After a delicate de-stemming the grapes are lightly pressed sent to stainless steel tanks where the alcoholic fermentation takes place in 18 days of maceration
of the skins in the must at the temperature of 25 ° C . After pressing the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels in which the aging continues for 18 months. In the end the wine is aged in the bottle for another 10 months before its release.
