Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. A rainy spring, then a hot, sunny summer.
A cold, rainy spring and then a hot summer; careful vineyard work gave excellent results.
March and the spring were wet and cool: May alone had 18 rainy days and 229 mm, delaying flowering by about ten days. July and August were fine and hot. Hail struck the Classico zone on 24 August. From late August through September, wide swings between day and night built rich colour and tannin, and picking began at the usual time, from 20 September, with only scattered rain.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva “Ambrosan” 2013 by Nicolis
Nicolis’s Amarone Classico Riserva “Ambrosan” is an absolutely princely wine, with great body and infinite elegance and vigor. The Nicolis family has an indissoluble bond with the land of Valpolicella, representing the history of wine in this fascinating region; Nicolis has been a reference since 1951, representing the soul of the wine of this land of famous wines that opens like a hand just north of Verona and that, like the fingers of the hand, gives us unique valleys of their kind ; valleys kissed by the sun and the mild climate of Lake Garda and the wind that flows along the Lessini Mountains.
The Ambrosan Classico Riserva by Nicolis borns on the “Ambrosan” vineyard, in San Pietro in Cariano, with a manual harvest and a careful selection of the grapes which are then left to rest in airy and dry rooms; after 4 months, in the middle of winter, they are softly pressed and here the must begins a long and slow fermentation where the Ambrosan Classico “Ambrosan” ages in Slavonian oak barrels and in barrique for 30 months. It gives us a generous and complex scent, ranging from notes of ripe fruit to undergrowth to leather. A really important and impressive structure for an Amarone Classico that stands out for its aromatic richness and for its elegant sensation of power.

Nicolis Winery cultivates 49 hectares of estate vineyards in San Pietro in Cariano, right at the center of Valpolicella Classica. Since 1951, when Angelo Nicolis and his wife Natalia began bottling for the market rather than only family use, the estate has passed from Angelo to his son Giuseppe and now to grandchildren Angelo and Sofia, who farm with an eye to soil health and low‑impact methods.
Valpolicella Classica itself stretches like an open hand: five “fingers” form the parallel valleys of Fumane, Marano, Sant’Ambrogio, Negrar, and San Pietro in Cariano. Cool currents slide down from the Lessini Mountains while warmer breezes rise from Lake Garda, weaving together ideal microclimates on both foothill and hillside sites. Limestone and marl give Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara their bright acidity and subtle mineral tones, the foundation of every Nicolis wine.
After careful hand selection, grapes for Valpolicella are de‑stemmed, gently crushed, and fermented in temperature‑controlled steel to preserve primary aromas. Bunches intended for Amarone and Recioto rest on open trays for about three months, losing moisture and concentrating sugars in the traditional appassimento. Pressing and a slow winter fermentation follow; Amarone then matures around 30 months in large Slavonian oak, while Recioto spends roughly six.
The result is a range that speaks clearly of Valpolicella Classica: fresh, structured Valpolicella; layered, long‑aged Amarone; and lusciously balanced Recioto, all crafted by a family whose hands have tended these valleys for three generations.
