Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
La Corte del Pozzo
45,00€
Amarone should be bottled under the “La Corte del Pozzo” line, which represents our strong connection with the grape suppliers who used to gather around our well as early as the early 1900s. To this day, we continue to work with the same families from 40 years ago, and with the La Corte del Pozzo line, we dedicate a part of our history to them.
