IT Buglioni Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Bio (DRY)

Buglioni produces distinctive wines and, alongside the traditional Valpolicella styles, offers more unconventional and pure expressions that reveal the authentic character of the territory and its native varieties.

“Il Lussurioso” gets its name from the long lasting, luxurious, finish it has on the palate. This Amarone is made from 100% estate fruit, which comes from Buglioni’s Vignieto San Pietro in Valpolicella Classico. The vineyard, Sant’Ambrogio is located at an altitude of about 495ft and consists of dark, clayey soils with a high content of gravel. Grapes are manually harvested towards mid-September and are dried until January using the appassimento process.

Certified organic.
