Red wine | Veneto, Valpolicella
Indulge in the exquisite Cadis Amarone della Valpolicella, a wine that embodies the rich traditions and unparalleled craftsmanship of the Veneto region. This is not just a wine; it’s a story, a journey that begins in the heart of Valpolicella, where the Cadis family has been nurturing vines since 1898. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every sip of this remarkable Amarone.
The Cadis Amarone is crafted from carefully selected Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. These grapes are harvested by hand and then dried in a process known as “appassimento.” This ancient technique concentrates the grape's flavors and sugars, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage showcases the pinnacle of this technique, delivering a wine that is both powerful and elegant.
On the nose, the Amarone offers a captivating bouquet of dried cherries, plums, and a hint of spice. The palate is a symphony of flavors, with rich notes of dark fruits, complemented by subtle hints of chocolate and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The wine is dry but with a luscious mouthfeel, structured tannins and balanced acidity that leads to a long, harmonious finish.
The Cadis Amarone della Valpolicella is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its robust character makes it an ideal accompaniment to hearty meals like roasted game, braised meats, and aged cheeses. For those seeking a more introspective experience, it's equally enjoyable on its own, allowing you to savor its complexity and layers of flavor. For optimum enjoyment, serve it at 18°C and allow it to breathe for at least an hour before indulging. This wine is more than just a drink; it's an experience that reflects the heritage and passion of its makers. With every glass, you're partaking in a tradition that has spanned generations.
