Amarone Tenuta "Pule"

Originating in 1964 at Lazise, on the banks of Lake Garda, the House of Lamberti was the first to identify the right way to re-present the products of the Veneto and, in particular, those of Verona. Typical examples are Bardolino and Valpolicella, as well as Amarone. The white wines include Lugana, Soave and the leading semi-sparkler: Turà.

60% Corvina
30% Rondinella
5% Molinara

The most acclaimed parcels of Tenuta^? Pule, in the borough of San Pietro in Cariano; the vines are trained by the pergola, "cortina pendente" and spurred cordon^? systems on clayey, limestone, stony^? ground well exposed to the south-west.

Towards the middle of October, before the normal vintage^?, the healthiest bunches (about 10% of all the grapes) are selected from the vineyard^?, picked by hand into 7kg wooden boxes and left to dry^? naturally for a 100 days in dry and well ventilated places. In January the dried grapes, with the juice^? (very concentrated^? by dehydration) are venified by the red wine method, with a long maceration^? and a controlled fermentation^?. The yield^? of wine is less than 40%.

Dark ruby colour, with a garnet rim. Full and complex^? bouquet^? of fruit preserve, raisins^? and violets with hints of spices and balsam and a trace of undergrowth; rich, warm, powerful^?, balanced flavour with a well-defined and lingering aftertaste^? of dried fruits (peaches, grapes, plums^?) and toasted almonds.

14.5% alcohol^?, 5.80 g/l total acidity^?, 3.5 pH^?,
6 g/l residual^? sugar^?, 30g dry^? extract^?.

Serve with braised red meats, game and strong cheeses.

Serving temperature: 18-20°C.

Optimum keeping: more than 10 years in bottles stored horizontally in cool, dark conditions.
