Amarone della Valpolicella (Brolo del Figaretto), Corte Figaretto 2005/2006 75cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: Italy Veneto Italian Red Wine , Description: Deep, almost opaque black cherry in the glass. On the nose it has youthful fruitiness, morellos, mulberries and Morocco leather. In the mouth there is a depth and a richness which carry on into a very long finish. Grape Variety: 80% Corvina, 10% Molinara, 10% Rondinella Notes: After harvesting the best quality, unbruised grapes, the bunches are laid out one deep in plastic crates with holes in the bottom, in a well ventilated room. By the new year, around 30% of the weight of the grapes has been lost in evaporation and the remaining must is correspondingly more concentrated. At the same time an extra dimension of complexity is gained, giving this Amarone its intense lifted fruit characteristics. It is then fermented slowly in the cold of winter (at around 19C) and aged in wood barriques for two years.
