Born from Corvina and Corvinone grapes and a small part of Rondinella, coming from a single vineyard in Marano di Valpolicella, with calcareous and volcanic soil.

After the traditional “Appassimento”, the 3-year ageing of our Amarone Riserva 2015 begins in French barriques, followed by at least 12 months of bottle ageing.

A highly snowy winter provided excellent water supplies for the soil. From spring’s mild temperatures to a scorching second half of the summer, grapes’ excellent ripening led to a stand-out vintage.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Bosan 2015 displays a deep garnet colour. On the nose, it reveals jam and morello cherry, plum and dark chocolate, with hints of black truffle and liquorice. The palate is full, with softness and roundness to balance the alcohol content. The finish is very long, persistent and of great complexity.

climate trend

The 2015 vintage is punctuated by climatic extremes subjecting vines to significant stress. Peak temperatures in winter and the following months break 20-year records, particularly July's. Above-average precipitations at the beginning of the year is countered with a rain-free April. In contrast, average values are recorded in the following months.

vinification & maturation

Grapes selected for Amarone Bosan are picked 1-2 weeks earlier than Valpolicella Classico’s. The best bunches are arranged in a single layer inside small crates. Following drying inside the large ‘fruttai’ rooms, where grapes lose 30% of their weight, maceration lasts for 20 days. After removing lees, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel follows, completed by 3 years of French barrique ageing and 12 months of bottle ageing.

CLIMATE TREND

A harsh winter and a scorching summer led to an early harvest with grapes of exceptional quality. Bosan 2009 is considered one of the decade’s best vintages: intense, complex, and with impeccably healthy fruit.

The vineyard

Bosan wines are born from a single vineyard located nearby the town of Marano di Valpolicella, at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level.

This area, remarked by terraced vineyards trained in the ‘pergola Veronese’ system, features a limestone soil of volcanic origin and ideal exposure.
All these elements come together to create dynamic, elegant, and distinctive wines, such as the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG Bosan.
