The grapes are harvested when slightly overripe to allow for greater concentration of the aromatic components. The drying process then continues in special crates in the drying room, where ventilation is checked daily and regulated exclusively by natural means through the opening and closing of the windows. In February, the destemmed and crushed grapes remain in contact with the must inside temperature-controlled fermentation tanks for more than twenty days. Maturation and ageing: 36 months in 5-hectolitre Veronese casks and barriques; 12 months in bottle.
Elegant on the palate, with fruity and spicy notes. Aromas of ripe fruit and slightly floral notes prevail, with tertiary aromas of tobacco, cocoa and cinnamon. The finish is long, well-structured and smooth. The name Cerasum, meaning cherry, refers to the intense aroma of red fruit, cherry and morello cherry that characterises this top-quality Amarone. At the same time, the name recalls the ancient tradition of cherry cultivation in the Valtramigna area, the valley where the winery is located. A true masterpiece!
An excellent wine to pair with red meat, but also perfect for savouring over a meal with friends.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.
