In a word: king.

The shape of the letter A resembles a vat, a symbol of winemaking, as well as a hair clip, denoting women’s wine.
Vinification and maturation: after pressing in January, the grapes are aged in steel tanks and in concrete vats without the addition of yeast or other biotechnical agents until fermentation begins, with very little pumping. After maceration on pomace for more than 2 months, the wine matures in large Slavonian oak ovals for at least 5 years. From this point on, regular refilling is the only operation performed: time very gradually shapes the characteristics of the wine. It is aged in bottle for one year. Amarone is produced only in the best growing years.

Aroma notes of ripe cherries and morello, semi-dried plums and spices.
The palate starts with an appealing spiciness, reflecting aromas in the nose and adding fruit preserves; with aging, the flavor lengthens, offering subtle hints of pepper, black licorice and cocoa powder.
