Recchia Masua di Jago Amarone della Valpolicella – The Pinnacle of Italian Winemaking

Experience the artistry of Italian craftsmanship with Recchia Masua di Jago Amarone della Valpolicella—a wine that stands as the pinnacle of Italian winemaking tradition. Hailing from the picturesque Veneto region, this Amarone is renowned for its rich, full-bodied character and its distinctive dryness, making it a favourite among discerning wine enthusiasts worldwide.

Crafted primarily from the esteemed Corvina grape, every bottle of this Amarone captures the essence of its terroir with bold and ripe flavours that dance on the palate. The journey begins in September when the grapes are meticulously harvested by hand. They then undergo a careful drying process, known as appassimento, during which they lose between 35-40% of their original weight. This natural dehydration concentrates the sugars and flavours, setting the stage for the wine’s exceptional depth and complexity.

Following the drying phase, the wine is given a four-month rest in stainless steel tanks. This step is crucial to preserve the fresh, vibrant characteristics of the fruit before the wine is transferred to French oak barrels. Over the next 24 months, the Amarone matures gracefully, absorbing layers of richness and nuance from the wood. This aging process not only enhances its robust structure but also imbues the wine with subtle tannins and a delicate oak influence.

Before release, the wine is further refined through an additional four months of bottle aging. This final period allows the flavours to harmonise and evolve to their full potential, ensuring that each sip is a true expression of Italian winemaking excellence.

Recchia Masua di Jago Amarone della Valpolicella is not just a wine—it’s an immersive experience that reflects centuries of tradition and dedication. From its meticulous production process to its deep, concentrated flavour profile, this Amarone stands as a testament to the passion and expertise of the winemakers of the Veneto region.
