Tasi Amarone 2017

Tasi is a renowned producer in the Veneto region of Italy, famous for its high-quality Amarone wines. Amarone, a rich and robust red wine, is known for its unique production process involving partially dried grapes, which intensifies its flavors. Tasi has a reputation for creating expressive and well-balanced wines, with the 2017 vintage being no exception.

The vineyards in the Veneto region benefit from a combination of limestone and clay soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral content. The climate, with warm days and cool nights, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The 2017 Amarone by Tasi is crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are dried for several months before fermentation, concentrating the sugars and flavors.
