Tasting Notes: The Latium Amarone della Valpolicella Campo Leon is an intense and vibrant ruby red in color. A powerful, complex and almost rich aroma, with perceived ethereal hints and notes of ripe red berries and cherry, with spicy notes of nutmeg and hints of cocoa, vanilla and black pepper. The wine is warm and smooth on the palate, with perceptible and elegant tannins. A refined full-bodied wine. The grapes are hand-picked and strictly selected, depending on the ripening period, from the first ten days in October. Then the grapes are dried in 5-6 kg crates in a controlled environment for 100 -120 days.
Estate History: The Morini family has been involved in grape growing for decades, but the official establishment of the Latium Morini winery (named after the Latin name for their hometown of Illasi) began to take shape in 1992 when they purchased a historic farmhouse and surrounding vineyards in the heart of the Val di Mezzane. Originally, the family's grapes were sold to a local cooperative cellar, but in the early 2000s, seven brothers and cousins of the new generation decided to join forces and produce wine themselves, with the first label released in 2003. This decision led to significant success and the construction of a new, modern winery in 2006, positioning Latium Morini at the forefront of the "new wave" of Amarone production. Today, they cultivate 40 hectares of land spread across both the Valpolicella and Soave regions.
