About This Wine:
Typical aromas of ripe fruit, fruit preserve and cherry are immediately perceived on first olfactory examination. Particularly striking is the incredible long length that lingers on the palate, when the wine displays all its strength through a warm an elegant body.
Produced in the towns of Negrar, Marano di Valpolicella, Sant’Ambrogio, Fumane, San Pietro in Cariano (the historic area of Valpolicella Classico production). The drying on racks of the Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes until mid January and the ageing in large oak barrels and barriques, together with the long period of rest in bottles, allow us to enjoy this great wine.
It is an excellent partner to game, grilled and stewed meats, but is also as a "conversation wine". Recommended drinking temperature 18-20°C. To be uncorked at least two hours before serving.
92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This
fresh, juicy red is driven by a rich note of black licorice snap, mixed
with flavors of damson plum and crushed currant, with accents of
freshly ground spices-anise, clove and cardamom. Shows fine balance and
polish throughout, with a sweet smoke note and subtle tannins building
on the finish. Drink now through 2026.—A.N. (Aug 3, 2011)
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:"This is a luscious, dark and delicious Amarone with really fun aromas of cinnamon and Christmas spice beyond more obvious tones of ripe fruit, prune and plum. It shows lovely, rich density in the mouth as well." — M.L. (2/1/2011)
