Red wine | Veneto, Valpolicella, Italy
Indulge in the exquisite Serego Alighieri Vaio Armaron Amarone della Valpolicella, a wine steeped in history and crafted with unparalleled expertise. Hailing from the prestigious Serego Alighieri estate in the heart of Veneto, Italy, this Amarone is a testament to the region's winemaking heritage and the unique appassimento method. This is made in collaboration with Masi Agricola. The 'Vaio Armaron' is a specific vineyard selection known for its exceptional fruit quality and terroir expression. The year 1996 was an outstanding vintage.
This Amarone is crafted from carefully selected Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are gently dried using the appassimento method. This traditional technique concentrates the grapes' sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine of remarkable intensity and complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop its signature character.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a luscious texture and a lingering finish. Hints of dark chocolate, tobacco, and balsamic add further layers of complexity.
This Amarone pairs perfectly with rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts. Its bold character and complex flavors also make it a perfect wine to savor on its own, allowing you to fully appreciate its exceptional qualities.
This wine is more than just a beverage; it is an experience. It is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the unique terroir of the Valpolicella region. It is a wine that will leave a lasting impression and create memories that will be cherished for years to come.
