CLIMATE and VINIFICATION 
Smell, texture, color, aroma and characteristics of the grapes of the wine regions of Verona and in particular Valpolicella classica performed very well and recall the best vintages.
The 2011 vintage of Amarone are set to be excellent.
Thanks to the right balance between the meteorological conditions and the phonological stages of the vines, the 2011 vintage can be definitely considered positive.
The particularly windy weather determinated a natural thinning of the vegetative vigor of the vines, especially of the native Valpolicella varietals, having a further reduction in yield per hectare.
The clusters appear sparse, with a good size and a thick skin: ideal for the appassimento (drying process).
The hand selection of grapes for Amarone began in the first weeks of September.
«The wind and the summer breezes gave us grapes with a very wide range aromatic. – Giancarlo Tommasi, winemaker, says – The wines will have notes of red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, red currant fruit and blacks as blackberries, blueberries, plums, pronounced floral notes, reminiscent of violets, while maintaining the harmonic structure of wines, where the ratio of acidity and of minerality is balanced. The Valpolicella classica will remember the 2011 vintage among one of the best.
