There are more than 10 thousand bottles of Amarone della Valpolicella Sobrio Bosan kept durante the new Caveau Bosan inaugurated durante Fumane at the headquarters of Cesari, a historic company from Valpolicella and pioneer durante the esportazione of Amarone overseas. A heritage that links the past to the present over a period of 18 years – from the first vintage durante 1997 to 2015, the most recent acceso the market.
The new Caveau, positioned durante the beating heart of the cellar, is an evocative place with the warm tones of the natural wood of the barrels and the burgundy red of the furnishings with a space dedicated to vertical tastings durante full immersion. Per mezzo di the center of the vault, a floor shows all the ancient vintages of Amarone Bosan acceso a white and gold label, and the current one with a black and silver label.
To celebrate this moment, Cesari launched the Perpendicolare Storica: a limited edition box with three iconic vintages of Amarone Bosan : 2015, 2010 and 2001. “Thanks to the territory which boasts completely different temperatures compared to the surrounding areas, Amarone Bosan is characterized by taste-olfactory elegance, with a marked acidic, fresh note which gives it liveliness durante tasting and which, together with an integrated and elegant, it allows him to have an incredible confidence with time”, comments the winemaker Michele .
“Amarone Bosan is the stylistic representation of that dottrina of elegance of Amarone that we have durante Cesari – highlights Giovanni , general director of Cesari – a long-lived wine with great potential, which can be appreciated as soon as it is put acceso the market can remain durante the cellar to be discovered after even twenty-five, thirty years. The Caveau inaugurated today and the possible vertical tasting experiences are tangible proof of this great potential.”
EIGHT MACROZONES FOR 140 HECTARES
The Cesari company was founded durante 1936 and the first esportazione of Amarone to the United States dates back to 1973. Caviro invested durante Cesari durante 2014 and then acquired it completely durante 2017. Currently the production and reception part is located durante Marano per mezzo di Valpolicella while durante Cavaion we find another structure dedicated mostly to refinement.
The company has 140 hectares including a portion of grape suppliers. “Initially – underlines – we started with the Marketing Dirigente Nicolò Maroni to define a new strategic plan and a correct rebranding policy having the classic production ambiente of Valpolicella as a point of reference. The objective is to give value to these lands durante the belief that they can influence the production style, of Amarone durante particular, increasing its drinkability and elegance without excesses of power and opulence. We first divided the 140 hectares into 8 macrozones with specific characteristics to be known and with the aim of grouping and subdividing all the suppliers of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. And then we formed a team of professionals to manage the vineyard, also with dedicated software, durante all aspects: management and phytosanitary treatments first and foremost.”
“We prepare a weekly weather bulletin – highlights the oenologist – which we send to all winemakers including a guideline for the correct agronomic management of the vineyard. It is different from ambiente to ambiente considering that the problems to be faced are often different: durante the plains we have more problems paio to downy mildew, durante the hills to powdery mildew”. “For grapes – underlines – there is a qualitative pyramid that starts from bunch-by-bunch control before it ends up durante the fruit shop. The internal analysis laboratory helps us acceso all this and allows us to collect important information acceso how much before vinification the grapes are subject to mandatory certification by a third trattenimento”.
“SPECIAL” BOSAN VINEYARD, HANDMADE
The Bosan Vineyard, trained using the Veronese bersò, extends for ten hectares starting from Pozzan durante Marano per mezzo di Valpolicella at 500 meters above sea level (some suppliers have vineyards even at 600 meters) and rests acceso a volcanic and mixed limestone territory. It is a monoculture ambiente but years punzone there were cherry trees and other fruit trees. Now, durante addition to the vineyard, we find some olive trees, a crop that is increasingly productive and profitable durante Valpolicella.
The Bosan vineyard lies with a north-south orientation and is terraced with 4.5 km of dry stone walls (marogne). It enjoys the influence of Lake Garda which is 20 kilometers away as the crow flies and which plays an important role durante mitigating temperatures. It is worked completely by hand.
For Bosan, after the traditional drying and vinification, the aging period lasts 3 years durante French barriques to conclude with 15 months of refinement durante the bottle.
