The 2014 vintage of Binazzo's Amarone della Valpolicella is a symphony of flavors that will enchant your palate.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a warm, lingering finish that begs for another sip. With a robust 15% alcohol content, this wine is best served at around 18°C, allowing its full range of aromas and flavors to unfold. A resting period of 30 minutes after uncorking is recommended, letting the wine breathe and reach its full potential. The wine is bottled in a corked bottle.
