ZYME LA MATTONARA AMARONE CLASSICO RISERVA
You Save: $104.00 (20%)
In a word: 'The art of making wine.'
The phrase 'The fullest expression of typicity' conveys the concept of fidelity to tradition. The label bears the image of a grape leaf whose veins are replaced by the lines of a fingerprint, to underscore the importance of the hand of man and of the interaction of man and nature in the fashioning of this wine.
The name Mattonara is a tribute to the sandstone quarry in which the winery lies, which was used at one time for the bricks used in building churches and villas.
