From the vineyards to the cooperage: the time of Amarone
Your experience in the Rooms of Time begins with a welcome at a renowned winery in Bardolino, nestled among the hills overlooking Lake Garda. Here you will meet the cellar staff or the oenologist, who will introduce you to the history of the company, the peculiarity of the Veronese territory and the unique role of Amarone in the local tradition. Crossing courtyards, processing spaces and, when planned, a brief walk among the vineyards, you will understand the meaning of late harvest, grape selection and drying.
In this context, concepts such as terroir, exposure and microclimate will take shape, fundamental for understanding why every vintage of Amarone tells a unique chapter, closely linked to nature and the work in the vineyard.
