Valpolicella
Amarone di Valpolicella
About the Producer:
With limited acreage under production, the small scale winemaker
is the true pulse of Italian winemaking, producing big wines from
small means. Situated in the heart of Valpolicella's classico district,
87 acres of family-owned vineyard have been cultivated under the
careful watch of the Nicolis family for generations, and the fascinating
history of the land itself goes back much further. During groundwork
on the Ambrosan vineyard, the foundations of an ancient Roman villa
were found!
The present winery operates under the enterprising
intuition of
Angelo
Nicolis
and his wife Natalia. Their three sons, all trained in enology
and business management, work closely with them to conduct most
of the winery activities. Together they make an Amarone with a
distinct, chiseled style. Their Valpolicella Classico Superiore
does, indeed, display the classic Valpolicella characteristics
of dried herbs and licorice, while the Seccal Valpolicella Classico
Superiore reveals a surprise dose of Sangiovese.
