Roccolo Grassi Amarone della Valpolicella is a world-class expression of Veneto's famed winemaking tradition, crafted by the acclaimed Sartori family. Born from meticulously cultivated, decades-old vines rooted in volcanic-basaltic soils, this Amarone showcases the unique character and pure elegance that define the Roccolo Grassi philosophy. The wine is produced from hand-harvested grapes, dried naturally to intensify the fruit depth and complexity, before being aged in carefully selected French oak barriques. Minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process ensures that every bottle authentically reflects its enchanting terroir, offering a sensory experience that is both rich and refined.
