Il tempo del legno
- Degustazione verticale in Barriques -
Scopri l’essenza del tempo e del legno in un’esperienza unica.
“Il Tempo del Legno” è una degustazione verticale guidata che ti porterà all’interno della nostra barricaia, dove potrai esplorare come il vino evolve con il tempo, come cambia sotto l’influenza del legno, e come ogni annata reagisce in modo unico al processo di affinamento.
Assaggerai tre annate di vino (futuro Amarone) in affinamento direttamente dalle barriques – 2024, 2022 e 2020 – seguite dall’assaggio finale di Amarone DOCG Classico 2018, già imbottigliato e pronto.
The experience we offer is divided into two parts: the winery tour and the vertical tasting.
THE TOUR
The goal of our tour is to take our visitors through the journey of the grapes: from the vineyard to the bottle.
The tour starts from our vineyard on the back of the company (“Santa Cristina” Vineyard), one between our smallest (just 12,000 square meters) but being one of the few vineyards in our area just a few hundred meters from Lake Garda.
The tour will then continue to the grape reception area and to the fermentation cellar where, after harvesting, grapes, after being crushed, are fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperature.
We will then move into the underground barrel room, based on two large rooms with controlled temperature and humidity: first room hosts 40 large (2500 liters each) oak barrel and about 800 smaller barriques (300 and 500 liters each) for the refining of our powerful red wines and complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The second room has been created just to age and refine already bottled red wines, which rest all requested time to be perfectly ready for consumption.
You will then walk to our bottling line where wine is bottled and where you will have an overview to all requested bottling, labelling and packaging machines. The visit will end by visiting our warehouses where all wines are stocked before shipping.
During our tour you will hear a lot of details about Lenotti Family history and about our company, as well as explanations and stories about our wines.
THE TASTING
Finito il tour si ritorna in barricaia dove proporremo la degustazione:
Degustazione verticale di tre annate in affinamento che preleverai direttamente dalla botte:
2024 – Giovane, vibrante, dominato dalla frutta e dai tannini ancora vivaci
2022 – In equilibrio, con le prime note evolutive
2020 – Complesso, morbido, arricchito da sentori terziari
Concluderemo poi con l’assaggio dell’Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2018 in bottiglia
THANK YOU
We hope that with this proposal, we can fully introduce you to the characteristics of this extraordinary wine and help you understand its evolution in the first years of bottle life. This will hopefully increase your interest in exploring all the possible evolutions that can occur in bottles aged for much longer periods. The next step could be to participate in a tasting of historic and long-aged vintages.
