Accordini Amarone Classico Le Bessole 2006 is made from 70% Corvina , 20% Rondinella , 10% Corvinoni
The grapes are generally harvested in the first two weeks of October. They are laid on racks in single layers to allow a better air circulation. The grapes start to dry out on the fruit and on average, after 120 days, they loose 45% of their weight. Throughout this period of time the grapes are checked on a regular basis and any damaged clusters are removed. The grapes are vinified in the end of February with a long maceration on the skins until the wine reaches an alcohol content of at least 15%. The wine is then refined in kegs before being transferred into barrels. The wine is usually bottled 3 years later. Intense garnet color. Black cherry and raspberry aromas. The mouth is full and persistent with a good structure. Ideal with boiled, roasted and grilled meat.
"Here's a subdued and elegant Amarone that whispers rather than scream. It shows dried fruit, leather and spice but without the revved-up intensity usually brought about by air-dried grapes and the appassimento school of winemaking - MI"
