Fieramonte Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG 2018
Tasting notes
Fieramonte is a hymn to the Valpolicella tradition of “Appassimento”, where the
finest wines are masterpieces of balance between the body and freshness. In this
wine all the components are perfectly integrated, dancing between the nose and the
mouth, shimmering with notes of violet, cherry and dried fruits, followed by
coffee, licorice, and dark chocolate, culminating in an intense and vibrant finish that
lingers on the palate and in the memory
Why we like it
Fieramonte tells the story of Valpolicella and its most important traditions, underpinned by a combination of values firmly based on an upper hillside vineyard with slopes that face south, and on the stubbornness of man who has always reaped the best from those lands. Giovanni Allegrini, the Company’s founder, was proud of it, precisely for its upper hillside location and its fortunate exposure to the east, where the ripening of the grapes is very balanced. As he loved to say: the morning sun, driving away the shadows of the night, awakens nature and gently caresses the bunches.
Pairings
Fieramonte, due to its aromatic intensity and power, requires pairings that can
match its richness and depth, such as braised dishes, roasted lamb, or game like
wild boar. Very aged cheeses benefit from the wine’s intensity and complexity,
creating a ha rmonious pairing. Be pleasantly surprised by pairing it with
90% dark chocolate, which balances the wine’s cherry and cocoa nuances.
