Undisputed symbol of the Speri family, Amarone Monte Sant'Urbano is an excellent example of finesse and classicism. An extraordinary wine of great complexity and vigorous structure that has always been at the top for elegance and quality. The vineyards owned are in Monte Sant'Urbano, in the municipality of Fumane located on a hill at an altitude between 280 and 350 m./asl with a high average age of the vines. The grapes are classically Corvina Veronese and Corvinone 70%, Rondinella 25%, Molinara 5%. Manual selection of the best bunches and subsequent drying for about 100 days, with weight loss of about 40%. Subsequent pressing and long fermentation with maceration. 24 months in 500 liter French oak tonneaux; followed by 18 months in medium-large Slavonian oak barrels. Aging in bottle for 12 months. Intense garnet red in colour, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried fruit. On the palate it is full-bodied, warm, enveloping, dry. An important wine of rare elegance, it lends itself well to ageing.
