About This Wine:
Deep red colour with purple tones. A typical aroma of cherry, spices,
cacao and bitter almonds. Full-bodied, velvety, warm, it is a wine which
is complex and at the same time delicate and elegant.
The Amarone of the “Il Bosco” vineyard is made into wine only when the grapes are perfectly healthy and in vintages of great quality. The vineyard is a small area where the vines are over 18 years old, and where a first selection is made favouring quality over quantity. During the grape harvesting, the grapes are selected and only the best will be placed in the "fruit cellars" for drying to then be pressed in the month of January. The wine is placed in barriques and in big Slavonian barrels to mature for two years. Once bottled, the wine is then aged further for an additional 6-8 months.
80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:"This is a lovely Amarone that offers seemingly limitless intensity and personality. The wine is richly redolent of red cherry, chocolate, spice and tobacco. It tastes sweet and plush and delivers a very smooth and supple texture. Very nice." — M.L. (2/1/2011)
92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This shows fine balance between bright black cherry, currant and grilled plum fruit and accents of leather, tobacco, mesquite smoke and grilled nuts. There’s a chunkiness to the tannins, yet they find a fine fit in this rugged red. Aromatic floral and dried herb notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2024."—A.N. (Aug 3, 2011)
