Scuderia Italia – Prestigious Italian Wines

Scuderia Italia was born from an intuition of Flavio Sartori, who turned his life-long passion for wine into his job. Graduated in Viticulture and Enology at the prestigious Conegliano branch of the University of Padua, he involves his father Loris, an entrepreneur with decades of experience, in his project and together they create the “Scuderia Italia – Prestigious Italian Wines” collection with the ambition that it can one day become a point of reference for wine lovers, offering products from different origins, but united by the search for the maximum expression of their territory.

Scuderia Italia – Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. – 2015 – Italy – Red Wines – Luxury Limited Edition

Known throughout the world, Amarone is the noble wine of Verona.

The bunches dedicated to the production of Amarone are selected by skilled hands because they must be perfectly intact and with berries not too tight together, to allow the passage of air during the very delicate natural drying process that takes place on small boxes constantly monitored.

The grapes are immediately separated into two masses to undergo two different drying periods of 100 and 120 days respectively. During this period the grapes – Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella – become dehydrated, increase their sugar content and are loaded with aromas. After pressing and fermentation, aging continues in oak barrels for 36 months.

Amarone has a deep ruby red color, round, velvety but at the same time mineral taste, immediately releases fruity aromas of cherry jam and floral notes of wisteria, jasmine, cyclamen and violet followed by notes of coffee, licorice, tobacco, chocolate and spices.
