Ca'Della Scala produces Amarone della Valpolicella from vineyard holdings in the Valpolicella zone of Veneto. The region's hillside vineyards benefit from microclimate variation that affects fruit development and sugar accumulation. Grapes destined for Amarone are grown on soils with significant clay and limestone content, which contribute mineral character to the final wine. The 2020 vintage occurred during a warm growing season in Italy, concentrating fruit flavours and supporting the appassimento process that defines Amarone production.

The Pianissimo reflects the traditional appassimento production method central to Amarone. Harvested grapes undergo an extended drying period (5–7 months) in climate-controlled facilities, concentrating natural sugars and increasing phenolic ripeness. The dried fruit is then destemmed and fermented slowly at cool temperatures, allowing gradual conversion of sugar to alcohol. After fermentation ceases, the wine ages in large wooden vessels or barrique for a minimum of three years before release, developing the complex dried-fruit character typical of Amarone.
