Description
Amarone della Valpolicella Terre di Valgrande is a wine produced by the Terre di Valgrande winery in Valpolicella from the vineyards of the Valpolicella Classica and Valpolicella Valpantena areas. The grapes that make up Amarone Terre di Valgrande are the classic ones from the Valpolicella area, namely Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella, which are harvested around the end of September and the bunches are placed in crates for drying.
