Selected by the supplier Enzio Lucca and his oenologist, this wine was bottled in the ancient cellars of Vi.De.Fa. It holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata classification, representing the traditional winemaking practices of northeastern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated north of Verona, Valpolicella is a historic wine-producing area within the Veneto region. Veneto is one of Italy's most productive wine regions, stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. While the region produces a wide variety of wines, its signature is Amarone, a powerful red wine crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where the grapes are dried before fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Amarone is crafted from a traditional blend of Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella grapes. Corvina serves as the central grape in Valpolicella, while Rondinella is a classic Venetian variety frequently used in the area's blends. Molinara, a blue grape native to Veneto, derives its name from the Italian word for mill, 'mulino,' due to a thick, white wax layer on the berries that resembles a dusting of flour. Grown almost exclusively in Veneto, Molinara is highly resistant to fungal diseases, making it particularly well-suited for the drying process required for Amarone. Although changes in local regulations have made Molinara optional and led to a decrease in its overall plantings, traditional wine houses continue to include it in their classic blends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Venezi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57209188221254,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-856_8c7f4ec3-158f-41eb-b118-cb046e36cea2.jpg?v=1787828248","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-castello-venezi-2004","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
