Arnaldo and Marta Galli of Le Ragose are firm believers in terroir and tradition. For them, a wine is much more than fermented grape juice: it is a result of the land where those grapes are grown and the people who grow them. The estate-owned vineyards for their Amarone were planted in 1969 when they launched their now historic winery. Recognizing that many excellent vineyard sites in the hills above Verona had been abandoned in favor of more easily-farmed sites on the plains, they replanted the Le Ragose and Le Sassine vineyards in the commune of Negrar and began making Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella in as natural a way possible.
They use only indigenous, naturally occurring yeasts for fermentation and they age the wine in traditional large oak barrels. 50% Corvina, 30% Rondinella and 20% other varieties are vinified seperately then blended before being passed over Amarone gross lees to promote further alcoholic fermentation. The wine is aged for one year in steel and two in Slavonian oak casks.
