This is delicious, intense, wonderful, complex and layered stuff that hugely overdelivers.
Ageing: 60% of the wine is refined for 24 months in big oak barrels, and 40% of the wine is refined for 18 months in new French barriques from Allier oak, then 6 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes:
Deep bright, ruby red color with violet edge. Powerful bouquet and intense aromas of cherry, ripe plum, toasted almond and vanilla. Full-bodied wine with a round and rich flavor.
A classically rich Amarone that has aromas of walnuts, dates, dried cherries and spice box. Full-bodied and powerful yet tangy and stylish, with chewy layers of dried fruit and spices. Drink or hold.
Food Pairing:
Traditionally enjoyed with game, roasted and grilled meats, full flavored dishes and well mature cheeses. Recommended drinking temperature 17-18 °C.
Grapes: Corvina Veronese and Corvinone Veronese 75%, Rondinella 25%. Bunches are handpicked and rigorously selected at the end of September.
