The alcoholic fermentation process is done slowly at a low temperature to allow the best possible mix of the flavors and aromas which are characteristic of this particular area of Valpolicella. All of these processes are integral to the time-honored traditions of Amarone wine production. Amarone della Valpolicella Classico – “S. Giorgio” Wine Card |

ZANE has a delicate flavor of red berry fruits with a hint of spices on the nose.

Production: No. of bottles produced 6,000 Tasting Notes: Ancient in origin, this delicate dessert wine is full of charm and has been enjoyed across the centuries. A wine par excellence. The prolonged drying of the grapes, even longer than those of the Amarone wine, gives rise to more fruitiness and sweetness in the resulting wine. Not all the sugar in the original grapemust turns to alcohol during fermentation. This creates an alluring red with both sugar and alcohol weaving a silky sweet interplay with the aroma of summer roses giving way on the palate to fruits of the forest and a marked cherry edge to the finish. A great wine for drinking with sweet pastries and rich creamy puddings and cheeses. In more recent times it has also been offered as a social wine or as an appetizer.
