Amarone & Valpolicella wines from 2012

A tricky vintage, but a rewarding one. Generally speaking the problems were caused by a lack of rainfall in spring (following on from the good dry winter for the previous vintage’s appassimento), as well as in summer, where temperatures comfortably topped 40°C, causing some vines to pause from heat stress and drought. Older vines with deeper roots faired better however, managed to access moisture where others didn’t, and many fantastic Amarone wines were made in this year, typically of extreme power and concentration.
