The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a symphony of flavors, born from a blend of carefully selected Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. The grapes are gently dried using the 'appassimento' method, concentrating their sugars and aromas, resulting in a wine of unparalleled intensity and complexity.
Upon pouring, the wine unveils a deep, ruby-red color that hints at the treasures within. As you bring the glass to your nose, an enchanting bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums unfolds, intertwined with delicate notes of dried flowers, cocoa, and sweet spices. These aromas dance harmoniously, inviting you to explore further.
The first sip is an awakening of the senses. The palate is greeted with a full-bodied texture, velvety tannins, and a captivating interplay of flavors. The ripe fruit notes are complemented by nuances of dark chocolate, licorice, and a subtle earthiness that adds depth and character. The wine's long and lingering finish leaves a trail of warmth and satisfaction, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
This Amarone is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to savor life's moments with elegance and joy. Its versatility makes it a perfect companion for a wide range of culinary delights. Pair it with roasted meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, or simply enjoy it on its own as a contemplative treat.
Imagine yourself indulging in a perfectly grilled ribeye steak, its flavors elevated by the wine's rich tannins and dark fruit notes. Or perhaps you're gathered around a table with friends, sharing stories and laughter over a platter of artisanal cheeses, each bite enhanced by the wine's complex aromas and velvety texture.
Decant this wine at least an hour before serving and serve it at a temperature between 16 and 18°C to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity and velvety tannins. This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is best served with game meat like venison, wild boar or hare and matured cheese.
