This Amarone Riserva, the highlight of the Corte Rugolin range, is
obtained from a selection of the best grapes in a small vineyard with an
excellent solar exposure. The grapes are processed using the
'appassimento' (drying Grapes) method for approximately three months, producing a
garnet-red wine with an intense bouquet of cooked fruit, dried plums,
cherries macerated in alcohol, tobacco and various spices, including
ginger. Uncork a few hours before drinking and serve at 18-20°C.
