The old vineyard does not yield much but is of extremely good quality. When the grapes are ripe, all bunches are harvested by hand and placed on racks. Yes, you read that correctly, the bunches are laid to rest on racks in special drying sheds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis causes them to lose 40% of their weight, which brings about the characteristic taste of raisins and dried fruit. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 3 years in French oak (barriques). Finally, it undergoes an additional 8 months of bottle aging, after which the wine is released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCantine de Valpantena in the Veneto region of Northern \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/italie\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e – responsible for the wines of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/torre-del-falasco\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eTorre del Falasco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e – are known for their good value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerliner Wein Trophy, 2018 - Gold medal (2014) \u003cbr\u003eInternational Wine Challenge, 2018 - Silver medal (2014) \u003cbr\u003eDecanter World Wine Awards, 2018 - Commended (2014) \u003cbr\u003eVinitaly, 2017 - 92 points (2014) \u003cbr\u003eInternational Wine Challenge, 2017 - Bronze medal (2013) \u003cbr\u003eVinitaly, 2017 - 90 points (2013) \u003cbr\u003eDecanter World Wine Awards, 2017 - Bronze medal (2013) \u003cbr\u003eShanghai Awards, 2017 - Gold medal (2013) \u003cbr\u003eVinitaly, 2016 - 91 points (2013) \u003cbr\u003eVinitaly, 2017 - 90 points (2012) \u003cbr\u003eDecanter World Wine Awards, 2016 - Bronze medal (2012) \u003cbr\u003eVinitaly, 2016 - 90 points (2012)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Torre del Falasco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944312115525,"sku":"28295","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/52af1e4815da769b508f67531f5eb186a977410c.jpg?v=1787299122","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/torre-del-falasco-amarone-della-valpolicella","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
