Leon di Ilatium Amarone represents the contemporary vision of this great wine from Verona: respectful of tradition, but with a more accessible and immediate style without sacrificing complexity. It is the first Amarone in the Ilatium range - the one that introduces you to this winery's world of great appassimento wines, before taking on the even greater depth of Due Mori.
Made with Corvina and Corvinone grapes from selected vineyards, the wine ferments slowly and matures in barriques to impart spicy and vanilla notes that integrate perfectly with the fruit. On the nose, ripe cherry, dried plum, vanilla, and cloves emerge. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, with soft tannins and a persistent finish of cocoa and mint. Perfect as a valuable gift or for celebrating important moments.

Winemaking
Winemaking
The grapes, hand-picked during the first ten days of October, are rigorously selected according to their ripening period and left to dry in 5/6 kg trays in a climate-controlled environment for 100-120 days. After destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo cold maceration before beginning fermentation at a controlled temperature, with frequent pump-overs and movement of the crushed grapes.
