The brand Corte Giara was founded in 1989 by an initiative of the family Allegrini to enhance this area of Valpolicella in order to offer wine high-value, easier and more affordable, wines true to tradition with a more modern appeal. Amarone della Valpolicella DOC is a red wine that has always played an important role in the Veronese tradition. The grapes that give life to this wine are: 70% Corvina Veronese and 30% Rondinella; cultivated in Cavaion Veronese in the hills of Lake Garda. The harvest is done strictly by hand, selecting only the best grapes that are dried for about 4 months. After a fermentation of 20-25 days, the wine is aged in stainless steel for 5 months, 15 months in wooden barrels and finally 6 months in bottle.
