2008 Corvina Amarone Release

Tuesday February 16th

The risk vs reward ratio is so poor in making Corvina Amarone that Dave knows of only 1 other winemaker in the US who is willing to take the gamble and make this lucious red. Worldwide there are believed to be less than 150 Amarone makers with a majority of those residing in Italy.

A deep red done in the

recioto winemaking style is loved the world over, when it can be found. Amaron�, meaning �the big bitter one�, is intense with a syrupy texture and traditionally made with the Corvina grape.

The creation process is very labor intensive with a high level of risk. The grapes are left to hang on the vine well past the normal harvest to increase the brix levels. Any weather surprises during this period can cause complete crop failure.

The fruit is hand separated from the stem and laid out on bamboo mats in a temperature and humidity controlled environment for 3 to 4 months. As they raisinate they lose one third of their weight.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid mildews & bacteria contaminations. Acceptable failure rates during this portion of the process are 40%. After harvest, the total fruit harvest tonnage decreases by over 60% !!!

Once the crush, fermentation, and barrel process is complete the resulting wine is a luxurious delight with alcohol levels in the range of 15 to 16%
