AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA D.O.C.G. CLASSICO

£34.00£204.00

 750ml Bottles 

This Amarone is the “Godfather” of Italian red wines, made from grapes grown in the Valpolicella Classico area, which undergo the typical production method of “appassimento in fruttaio” (withering in fruit) before ageing in large oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months, followed by a further 6-8 months in the bottle.

 On the nose:   A bouquet that is strong and persistent, ethereal and fruity with hints of black cherries and dry prunes. Aromas of forest fruits (currant, blackberry and blueberry) accompanied by hints of star anise, cocoa and tobacco

 On the palate:  High acidity, full body, red cherry, herbaceous, chocolatey. The time in the bottle favours aromas reminiscent of violet, sometimes lilac and sage.

 Recommended combination with food:  A great partner for:

  • Porcini mushroom soup
  • BBQ pork
  • Fried chicken livers

Serve at 16 – 18°C
