Description
If Amarone della Valpolicella is the latest addition to the Valpolicella wines, the Speri family is one of the oldest companies to produce it: the first bottles put on the market date back to the second half of the 50s and the company’s greatest efforts have always been concentrated here.
Speri produces a single Amarone, Amarone docg Classico Sant’Urbano.
The harvest is exclusively manual and involves careful sorting to select only the loose bunches, i.e. those that have the best characteristics for the long natural drying on the racks
The company has three drying rooms located in hilly or foothill areas with good natural aeration that favors a drying free from mold and the maintenance of the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes. The main drying room is located in the center of the Tenuta Sant’Urbano of the Speri family, at 300 m / asl, a privileged position that guarantees a dry climate and excellent ventilation.Here the grapes are still dried on the “arele”, traditional wooden and bamboo racks, well spaced from each other.
With the desire to always pursue the best possible quality, the Speri family does not produce Amarone in less favorable years and puts the wine on the market at least 12 months after the date established by the production regulations.
