Red wine | Veneto, Valpolicella Classico, Italy
Allow me to introduce you to a wine that embodies the very soul of the Veneto region: the Cesari Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'Il Bosco'. From the renowned Cesari winery, a name synonymous with quality and tradition, this Amarone is a testament to the power and elegance that Italian winemaking can achieve. This 'Il Bosco' is crafted from carefully selected Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, dried using the 'appassimento' method. This ancient technique concentrates the grapes' sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine of exceptional richness and complexity. After fermentation, the wine ages gracefully in oak barrels, further developing its character and structure.
On the nose, prepare to be captivated by an intense bouquet of ripe dark cherries, plums, and figs, intertwined with enticing notes of chocolate, spice, and a hint of dried herbs. The palate is then greeted by a full-bodied, velvety texture, where the concentrated fruit flavors are balanced by a refreshing acidity and firm tannins. The long, lingering finish leaves a lasting impression of warmth and sophistication. The 2020 vintage, as seen on the label, promises a wine with excellent aging potential, allowing you to cellar it for years to come and witness its evolution. At 15.5% alcohol, this wine has the backbone to pair with rich and flavorful dishes. Its complexity and depth make it a fantastic match for roasted meats like lamb or beef, game dishes, aged cheeses, or even dark chocolate desserts. It is best served at around 18°C, with at least 30 minutes of breathing time to fully unleash its aromas and flavors.
