Vineyard Info
Founded in 1878, the Biscardo Family has never stopped producing high quality wines and selling them around the world. Today, there are 3 components of the Family: Maurizio, Martino and Maddalena Biscardo. Working together with passion they represent the Italian wine tradition and culture of the past, the present and the future.
Our vineyards are located around Verona hills facing South, getting the sunlight most of the time. The most productive area where we grow vines for Amarone is Valpolicella, on the northern part of Verona, classic area of this wine. The soil of Amarone can generally be distinguished in: brown and red soil on silts or on loam rocks of Cretaceous age; compact red soil on basalt; compact red soil on Eocene limestone. Martino and Maurizio have the pleasure to present this Amarone. The grapes are still hand-picked up and placed in wooden cases, then dried in special chambers to concentrate the remaining sugars and flavors. Following drying, the grapes are crushed and go through a dry low temperature fermentation process. Then the wine is aged initially in stainless steel tanks and successively in small barrels.
