Vintage 2015Exceptional vintage
Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An exceptional year. A hot, dry summer and an early harvest of very healthy grapes.
A year of extremes: record heat and little rain, with healthy grapes and an early harvest.
The winter was warm, and the following months set twenty year records for maximum temperatures, July above all. April and July were very dry. Flowering came early, in late May and early June, and the heat of July and August did not slow ripening. The hot, dry weather kept downy mildew, powdery mildew and botrytis away, while careful vineyard work eased the stress on the vines. Harvest from about 10 September.
Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG “Due Mori” by Ilatium
Ilatium’s flagship riserva, the crème-de-la-crème of their fruit and their winemaking efforts, and the ultimate expression of Ilatium’s modern, drinkable, friendly style of Amarone della Valpolicella.
Winemaking: Only the best grapes of important vintages are hand-picked, with strict selection depending on the ripening period. Then the grapes are dried in 5-6kg crates in a controlled environment for 100-120 days. Destemming and pressing takes place in January, followed by cold maceration and controlled fermentation for 10-15 with frequent pumping over and moving of the pressed grapes (at a temperature from 18°C-25°C, with a final temperature from 28°C-30°C). The wine is then aged in French and North American oak barrels with a capacity of 225-500 litres for about 42 months, followed by 12 months refinement in the bottle.
Assemblage: corvina and corvinone 70%, rondinella 20%, croatina 10%.
Soil: the clayey-calcareous soils of Mezzane di Sotto and the Valle d’Illasi.
Alcohol: 16%.
Colour: an impenetrable ruby red.
Aroma: intense, complex and almost rich; perceived ethereal hints and notes of ripe red berries, cherry, Amarena cherry, blueberries, with spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
Palate: dry, warm and smooth, with perceptible elegant tannins.
Ageability: enough heft to support its considerable fruit for another decade.
Pairing: this is probably best on its own, over a whole afternoon when you have nothing else to do.

Ilatium Morini stands in Val di Mezzane, surrounded by vineyards and an early 1900s farmhouse that inspired Luigi and Giuseppe Morini in 1980. Their plan was simple: combine their lands and nurture grapes once sent to the local cooperative. Over time, seven Morini siblings and cousins joined, blending modern ideas with the family’s longstanding methods.
In 1992, more vineyards were added near the farmhouse, pointing the way to the official start of Ilatium Morini in 2001. Two years later, the first wine label was produced, with the original bottle still kept in the family archive. When the founders outgrew their first location, a new, contemporary facility was established in 2006, with further expansion in 2020 after restoring the farmhouse to include a Wine Shop and tasting rooms.
Harvesting still follows a hands-on approach, ensuring careful grape selection from drying to pressing and through fermentation. Various oak barrel sizes highlight each wine’s layers of flavour, including unexpected nuances. The estate includes La Calle, Sottomonte, Forade, Ai Progni, Leòn, Mezzane ai Monti, Grezzana, and l’Olivara, each site contributing distinct qualities. This mix of tradition and forward thinking defines Ilatium Morini, carrying on the family’s drive for authentic Verona winemaking.
