Marogne Tonde 2016 BIO
Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. Classico

bottle from 750 ml
price: 30 €

Marogne Tonde owes its name to the Marogne, those dry stone walls that support the terracing of the vineyards in Valpolicella and which follow the rounded shape of the hill. The wine is obtained from the carefully selected bunches of Corvina and Rondinella and left to dry. It is produced according to the traditional method using only grapes from the “Costa degli Ulivi” farm in the suggestive hilly area of Fumane called Costa.
Its production is limited.

The Climatic characteristics of the year

In the year 2016 in Valpolicella there was an early budding of the vines due to a dry and mild winter; due to the abundant rains that fell in May and June, the vines struggled a little in the flowering phase. The season then stabilized in July, with summer weather and temperatures no higher than 35 ° C, moderate compared to the extremes of the previous year. This improvement allowed the vines to recover and to face the veraison phase with energy. From the second half of August until the grape harvest, the climate remained stable, with a good temperature range between day and night, especially in hilly areas like ours. Thanks to the summer weather improvement, the Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes reached maturity with an excellent sugar content. The considerable temperature range that characterized the period of veraison made it possible to harvest grapes with an excellent phenolic content and, in particular, rich in anthocyanins.

Tasting notes
