Product Overview
Importer's Notes
"Amarone A is a gentle giant made using the passito method. The grapes are dried after picking, concentrating the flavors and resulting in a big and dense, off-dry red wine with complex, jammy aromas of cooked plums and red fruit, earthy aromas reminiscent of mushrooms, and generous yet polished tannins. A blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara that composes Amarone is an example of why this has been one of the flagship Italian red wines.
The bottles are placed 100-feet below the water’s surface. The conditions at these depths make nature’s greatest wine cellar.
Temperatures are consistently cool
Zero light from the sun is able to reach the bottles
Aging is intensified and accelerated under tremendous pressure
Waves keep the bottles in motion, forcing molecular breakdown for a constant smoothing of the wine
Each bottle spends a minimum of one year under water, depending on what variety of wine is submerged. Some bottles are left to age for as many as two years."
