Terroir: The grapes for the Amarone Selezione Castagnedi come from vineyards located on hills of limestone and clay origin, at an altitude of approximately 300 meters above sea level. The climatic conditions, with temperature fluctuations between day and night, favor the aromatic concentration of the grapes. The traditional processing, including the drying of the grapes, contributes to a unique complexity and richness in the wine.

Vinification: After hand-harvesting, the grapes are dried for about three months in fruit drying rooms to concentrate sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, and the wine matures for 24 months in French oak barrels, followed by bottle aging to perfect its aromatic and structural balance.
