AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO 750ML

Geographical area – Sloping hills of a prevalently chalky nature with some blackish basaltic rock.

Grapes – Corvina (55 – 70%), Rondinella ( 25 – 30%), Molinara (5 – 15%).

Color – An especially vivid garnet red. Bouquet – Intense, heady and austere. A broad and complete bouquet.

Taste – Generous, warm and austere. Full-bodied, elegant and extraordinarily rich with nuances.

Ageing – After a prolonged oak-casking the “Recioto” becomes bitterish hence dry. After this the wine shows great resistance and even after many years it is a splendid wine.

Gastronomy – This is the great red wine of roasts, the bitterness suits even game and seasoned cheeses.

Serve at room temperature perhaps decanted in order to allow it to breath and eliminate the possible sediment. This wine deserves to be drunk from a good quality glass, even crystal, and it’s subtle distraction to be enjoyed with a closed mouth.
