La Collina dei Ciliegi Amarone della Valpolicella is a luxurious red wine crafted in the picturesque Valpantena region, the highest part of Valpolicella in Italy's Veneto. This estate champions modern elegance and environmental responsibility, with each bottle reflecting the rich biodiversity of vineyards surrounded by forests and meadows. The winery's approach centres on sustainable, organic practices and a devotion to terroir precision, ensuring every parcel of land translates uniquely into the glass.
The grapes-mainly Corvina and Corvinone with a touch of Rondinella-are hand-harvested and gently dried for 100 days, intensifying their flavours and complexity. Maturation in French oak adds finesse, contributing both structure and depth to the wine. The result is an Amarone that perfectly balances tradition and innovation-a true showcase of high-altitude viticulture and meticulous craftsmanship.
