RARE

The red wines mature for a very long time in Slovenian oak barrels, as much as 7 years! Amarone and Amarone Riserva are only made in very good years. The Amabile del Cerè is however the rarest wine of Guiseppe. The last wine was made in 2003 and the harvest year before that was 1990. The wine is named after a barrel of the same name, which was hidden from the Germans when they invaded the estate during the Second World War. When the wine was found, the content turned out to be fantastic due to the maturation.

LEGENDARY

All labels are handwritten . Previously by the owner of the restaurant 12 Apostoli, in Verona. Then one of Guiseppe's daughters took over, she now writes the labels.
