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. They use only indigenous, naturally occurring yeasts for fermentation and they age the wine in traditional large oak barrels.
The Galli's Amarone is made from a "field blend": while Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara are the three primary grapes used for this wine, the family allows other varieties -- Sangiovese and Pinot Nero among them, depending on the vintage -- to grow in their vineyards. They believe that this represents the true tradition of Amarone, where the vintage and Mother Nature herself determine which grapes will be used for the wines.
