Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
A rich, structured Amarone built from the classic Valpolicella trio of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella, dried using the traditional appassimento process to concentrate flavour and alcohol. Expect dense dried cherry and dark chocolate at the core, supported by notes of leather, tobacco, and dried fig, with firm, grippy tannins and a long, warming finish. This is a serious, cellar-worthy wine that rewards patience and calls for equally hearty food.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
