Società Agricola Il Sasso is a groundbreaking organic estate in Valpolicella working with 10 hectares of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella growing on terraced, south-facing hills in Storica, just outside Verona. All grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in a mix of concrete and ceramic barrels - wood is avoided in order to emphasise the character and freshness of the grapes.

This is Il Sasso's Amarone, made with grapes that are dried for up to 4 months to concentrate the sugars, followed by 2 months of maceration before ageing for three years in special ceramic barriques. It's rich, fruity and spicy with intense notes of dried cherry, apricots and plum.
