How is La Rosta made?
From the best bunches, hand-picked and dried in plateaux for three to four months, which the estate says raises sugar concentration by twenty-five to thirty percent. The grapes are pressed in January and fermented for about twenty-five to thirty days, then aged twenty-four to thirty-six months in barrique.
How is La Rosta different from Degani's other Amarone?
La Rosta is the estate's named selection, carrying the vineyard name on the label, while the other bottling is the house Amarone. Both follow the same drying and ageing regime.
When should I drink La Rosta?
Between eight and thirty years from the vintage. Two to three years in barrique give the wine the structure to hold.
