Tasting notes
The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a deep ruby red where the full body is perfectly balanced with the refreshing acidity of the sip. It is a very intense and complex wine, rich in black fruits like black cherries and prune with hints of violet, black pepper, mediterranean herbs such as thyme. The nose goes deeper with hints of forest floor, grafite and tertiary aromas such as nuts, figs and vanilla. The sip is intense, with firm ripe tannins that are really well integrated in the wine and a very long finish. The wine could age for further 20 years, developing more tertiary notes.
Why we like it
Amarone is history, passion, and vision. Vigorous and intense, capable of skillfully balancing power and elegance, it preserves and enhances the integrity of the fruit.
Pairings
The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a wine of great complexity and elegance. It pairs well with dishes with autumnal flavors, such as Amarone risotto or pappardelle with mushrooms, as well as slow-cooked dishes like braised meats and stews. Excellent with aged cheeses that enhance its aromatic qualities, it can also be surprisingly good with spiced desserts like panforte.
