Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
It is a well-structured wine with a notable alcohol content. Its color is a brilliant ruby red, and its aroma evokes red ripe fruits preserved in spirits, cherry, chocolate, and coffee. The taste is velvety, warm, and very elegant.
Production Notes
The harvest is done by hand between the end of September and beginning of October using small crates to preserve the quality of the grapes. Then, the selected grapes rests for four months in a fruit bed carved into tufa rock, allowing the natural withering process (appassimento) to complete. Between January and February, The grapes undergo fermentation and maceration at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a 36-month aging process in a 52 hl oak barrel.
Food & Wine Pairing
This wine pairs excellently with stews, stracotto, or brasato (meat stewed in red wine), and generally all dishes with high aromatic persistence. We recommend opening the bottle some time before serving and letting it rest at cellar temperature.
More Information
Corte S. Anna is the name of the courtyard located in front of the restored tufa country house. It is symbolized by the weathervane in the courtyard, which features a rooster. The label Corte Sant’ Anna identifies our younger Amarone, which has a shorter aging period.
