Red wine | Veneto, Valpolicella, Italy

Crafted with passion and expertise by Casa al Pruno, this Amarone showcases the unique terroir of Valpolicella, where the rolling hills and ideal climate nurture the Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes to perfection.
The winemaking process involves carefully selecting the finest grapes, which are then air-dried for several months in special lofts. This appassimento method concentrates the sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity. After fermentation, the Amarone is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop its signature characteristics.

The aromas are intense and inviting, featuring ripe dark cherries, plums, and dried fruits, interwoven with notes of chocolate, spice, and a hint of balsamic. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins. The long, lingering finish leaves a memorable impression of warmth and elegance.
Pair this luxurious Amarone with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, or aged cheeses. It is also a perfect accompaniment to dark chocolate desserts. Serve at 18°C (64°F) to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Decant for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full potential.
