The story

The story behind Bixio

Bixio Poderi traces its land in the Valpolicella Classico hills outside Verona to 1866, when Lieutenant Alfonso Bixio inherited property in the area. Five generations later, winemaker Emilio Bixio and his daughter Elisa farm a small estate and still make Amarone the slow way.

Hand-picked Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara rest in ventilated fruttai for roughly 90 to 120 days before a dry fermentation and long oak aging. That is the appassimento method, and Bixio Amarone is built on it rather than around it.

Good to know

Bixio questions, answered

Is Bixio Amarone a sweet or dry wine?
Bixio Amarone is a dry red wine. It is made from dried, raisin-like grapes, the same method behind sweet Recioto, but fermentation runs to completion so the yeast converts nearly all sugar into alcohol.
Why is Bixio Amarone relatively expensive?
The process is labor intensive. Grapes are hand-harvested, dried for months in ventilated rooms, fermented slowly and aged in oak, and dehydration cuts juice output by 30 to 40 percent per cluster.
What grapes are inside Bixio Amarone?
It is a native Valpolicella blend dominated by Corvina, roughly 70 to 80 percent depending on vintage, balanced with Rondinella and small amounts of Molinara or Corvinone.
Does Bixio Amarone need to be decanted?
Yes. Its dense extract and 15.5% alcohol reward decanting for at least 60 to 120 minutes, which softens the tannins and opens the black cherry and spice profile.
