This wine is from the Valpolicella region of Italy. The grapes are harvested and left to dry for 90 days. They're fermented for 80 days, and aged in French oak barrels for 30 months. Tenuta Gugi, founded in the early 2000s, employs traditional methods with a respect for innovation. It has a deep ruby red color with orange shades. Some reviewers describe the wine as having raisin-like cherry flavors, delicate spices, notes of licorice and black pepper, intense aromas of dried berries and spices, with a soft, persistent flavor, and a lighter body than expected for an Amarone.
