Manara Postera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2015

The Manara winery was established in 1950 in San Floriano in the heart of Valpolicella Classica.

The owners have been running it for three generations, maintaining local wine-making traditions with growing experience, passion, and a strong bond with the Valpolicella Classico region.

The estate stretches over 11 hectares in the districts of San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar, and Marano di Valpolicella.

After three generations and with its fourth gradually joining in, the Manara family is carrying on its wine-growing tradition with passion and knowledge, maintaining the strong bond with the land that saw it originate and grow.

The plant breeding system is the “double pergoletta” (pairle).

They produce top quality Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, and other minor varieties of grapes and only the best go for further winemaking which eventually gets reflected in their wines.

The wine is made from grapes in an unique vineyard sited at the top of the hill of the district Marano in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region. Its name “Postera” in local dialect refers to it being exposed to the sun all day.

The grapes for this wine is harvested carefully by selecting by hand for the process of drying that lasts on average 3 months. The grapes are gently crushing, followed by a maceration on the skins and a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 40 - 60 days.

Matured in French barrique and tonneaux for about 18 months and afterwards in stainless steel tanks. Aging in the bottle varies from 6 to 12 months.
