VAJO DEI MASI 1999 | Limited Edition | MAGNUM | 1,5 l
Following the success of the 1997 vintage, the 1999 is now being offered, also the result of an original production method designed to preserve its freshness over the years. Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Molinara grapes, carefully selected, were dried on bamboo racks until the beginning of February of the following year. After that, the grapes were crushed, and fermentation took place in steel tanks, followed by maturation in new French oak barrels of 600 liters, from June 6, 2000, to October 15, 2003. However, the true secret of this Amarone lies in the preservation technique that has “stopped time”: after aging in wood, the wine was stored in steel tanks under nitrogen saturation until bottling in January 2024. Today, the wine offers a unique and surprising vitality, even after a quarter of a century.
