Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG – Tenuta Lena di Mezzo – Monte del Frà
Amarone Classico Lena is a modern style Amarone, balanced and harmonious. It reflects all the characteristics of Classic Valpolicella terroir with its tobacco notes, licorice, spices and chocolate. The grapes are fermented for a few days at low temperatures (cryomaceration) in steel for a natural enhancement of the aromas. After that, the wines rest in oak wood for 30 months, in a sterilized environment by ultraviolet lamps that work every night. In this way the reduction of added sulphites is obtained and it goes from 160 ml/l to about 80 ml/l. The wine is truly inviting, harmonious and elegant. The wine is also suitable for a vegan diet and is awards annually by international guides. The latest prize comes from the USA and reaches 93 points with Antonio Galloni.
