Degani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico La Rosta has a noble character. Intense garnet red colour. Clear and fresh nose of berries, prunes, vanilla and liquorice. Rich, full-bodied and firm. The palate is well-structured, beautifully balanced with soft tannins and offers a velvety mouthfeel. Ripe plum and cherry flavours with notes of raisins, chocolate, almond nuts, liquorice and pepper spice.
40% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 25% Corvinone and 5% Altre. The fruit comes from Fratelli Degani's vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico region. From harvesting to winemaking and bottling, everything at Degani is done in accordance with traditional methods and a simple ideology. The wines perfectly reflect their world-class terroir and winemaking skills.
The best bunches are hand picked and then laid flat in special wooden boxes for a 3/4-month drying process. Thanks to this, the grapes increase their sugar concentration by 25–30%. In January the grapes are crushed and then the fermentation starts. After 25–30 days the must is transferred into stainless steel tanks. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine matures in barriques (special barrels) for 24–36 months and then refines in bottles for several months.
Ageing potential: Cellar for 15–18 years.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
