This Multi Award Winning wine from Villa degli Olmi is made in the style of Amarone but from grapes outside of the official jurisdiction. Corvina & Rondinella are the dominate varieties, however, the blend also consists of Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot. Using the Appassimento method which consists of drying the grapes to concentrate the aromas, the wine is dark red in colour with a silky, unctuous texture and a pleasant aroma. This wine is soft with a lovely roundness and balanced persistence - Just sensational !
About the Producer
Villa degli Olmi is a cellar with a long tradition for the quality and distinctiveness of its wines. The story begins on horseback between the 19th and 20th centuries, a few years before the Great War, when great-grandfather Giovanni combines the traditional activity of silkworm breeding with the production and trade of wines. The market to which it is aimed, first local, grows as the reputation of the quality of the products spreads among its customers. Already in 1926 Giovanni's wines were awarded the gold medal at important oenological displays of the time. The activity intensified in the following years when the second generation joined the company, giving further impetus to business. Immediately after the Second World War, one of Giovanni's sons, Aurelio, decides to carry out an important autonomous project and open a newly built cellar. He chooses the town of Creazzo as his locality, then a small village close to the city of Vicenza, where his most loyal customers were located.
