Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Grapes: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
A powerful, structured Amarone built on the classic appassimento method, where partially dried Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes deliver concentrated flavours of dried cherry and dark chocolate alongside leather, tobacco, and dried fig. The wine is dry and full-bodied with grippy tannins and enough acidity to keep things balanced, typical of the Valpolicella DOCG style. The NV designation is unusual for Amarone, suggesting a possible blended or solera-style approach — expect a rich, consistent house style rather than vintage-driven variation.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
