Amarone della Valpolicella is a wine like no other. And when it comes to producing this outstanding wine, Luciano Arduini is at the top of its game.

Arduini winery was founded in the 1940s, when Luciano’s grandfather, Gabriele started his business in the small town of “Canal” in Marano Valpolicella. Luciano Arduini took over his father’s company and followed his example by continuing the tradition and adding modernity along with his own personal vision to the winery. Today, Luciano and his son Andrea work together to grow the vines and make the wine. Their style is a perfect fusion between the traditional and the modern.

The traditional “Ripasso” technique uses part of the best Valpolicella which is then fermented a second time using Amarone marc to increase the alcohol content and give the wine more color, extracts and aromas. Ruby red in color with light violet hues, it has a fresh and floral bouquet characterized by hints of fruits of the forest. A well-balanced and dry flavor. It is recommended that you open the bottle at least one hour before drinking and serve at a temperature of 18°C.

De-stalking and gentle pressing. First maceration lasting approx. 15 days during which time manual punching down and pumping over is carried out. Afterwards, the “Ripasso” technique is used, involving fermentation on intact Amarone grape skins for around 10 days between February and March. After being drawn off, the wine is transferred into casks where it is left to mature for around 12 months, after which it undergoes further aging in the bottle. The perfect accompaniment to red meat, grilled meat and mature cheese.
