The
Recchia family have been growers and wine makers in the Veneto since
1906. They provide grapes to some of the best producers including
Tomassi and Allegrini. Fratelli Recchia also produces their own Amarone
Classico wine from the local grape varieties in their estate vineyards.
The grapes for this Ca' Bertoldi Amarone Classico come from a small
single vineyard next to the winery. Hand selected and dried on straw
mats. The vineyard lies at one of the highest points in the region and
therefore the drying process is much longer and slower than other
Amarones. The grapes are harvested in Early October and dried until late
January or February. This allows the grapes to gain richness and
intensity without stripping any of the delicate and refined flavors.
Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks
and the maceration lasts anywhere from 30 to 50 days. The wine ages
first in stainless steel tanks for 6 months before transfer to oak
barrels where it ages an additional 36 months.
