About Montecampo Amarone della Valpolicella
Montecampo Amarone is born in the heart of Valpolicella, a region renowned for its centuries-old winemaking traditions. Grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and then laid out on bamboo racks in ventilated rooms where they gently dry for 100–120 days. This appassimento technique concentrates sugars, acids and flavors, resulting in a powerful, complex wine.
