Cantine Di Ora “Amicale” Limited Edition Corvina Verona I.G.T.

Story: Cantine Di Ora's "Amicale" series honors the collaborative spirit of small Veronese growers who share vineyard knowledge across the region's volcanic terraces. This limited bottling captures that ethos through a single-vineyard Corvina expression.

Site & Terroir: Corvina vines planted on the volcanic clay and limestone soils characteristic of the Verona hills, at moderate elevation where morning fog moderates ripening and preserves acidity. The aspect favors afternoon sun exposure without excessive heat stress.

Technique: Native yeast fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with extended maceration (14–18 days) to extract color and tannin structure from the Corvina skin. Post-fermentation aging in neutral French oak (12 months) allows the wine to develop without oak dominance. Bottled unfiltered to preserve aromatic complexity.

Special Feature: Limited production (fewer than 2,000 bottles) and the deliberate choice of native fermentation—a technique less common in modern Verona production—yields a wine with textural complexity and regional authenticity rather than fruit-forward polish.

Drinking Window: 2023–2032. Peak expression at 3–5 years from vintage.
