Valpolicella is called the “Valley that Flies” because every grape variety we grow in the valley carries the name of a bird: Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, Dindarella. That is why our Carra Amarone has wings to fly! Amarone is the masterpiece wine resulted from the process that takes the name of “APPASSIMENTO”.
