A specific further cellaring window is not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from hillside vineyards between Negrar and San Peretto in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, where the rolling terrain around Verona helps shape concentrated, defined wines. Harvest takes place in mid-October, followed by fermentation at ambient temperature. In spring, the wine undergoes a week-long second fermentation with the pressed skins from Amarone production, then matures for 36 months in Styrian oak barrels before further resting in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C and decant for about an hour before drinking.
