Red wine | Veneto, Italy
Indulge in the opulent experience of Villa Crine's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, a masterpiece of Italian winemaking from the heart of Veneto. This red wine is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes that have been carefully dried in the traditional 'appassimento' method, concentrating their sugars and flavors before fermentation. The result is a wine of exceptional depth and complexity, a true expression of its terroir.
This Amarone pours a deep ruby red, immediately hinting at the richness within. Its aromatic profile is a symphony of dark fruits like black cherry and plum, intertwined with notes of dried fig, hints of chocolate, and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a seamless structure, showcasing a balance between ripe fruit, smooth tannins, and a warming finish. It's a dry wine, despite the intense fruit character, perfectly marrying power and elegance.
Villa Crine, the winery, has been a beacon of quality in the Valpolicella region, embracing the traditional methods that make Amarone so special. They are located in the heart of the region, crafting wines that not only reflect the unique character of Valpolicella but also their commitment to quality. The wine pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially rich meals. Imagine it alongside hearty meat dishes such as roasted lamb, game meats, or steak. It also accompanies aged cheeses beautifully. The robust body and the lingering finish make this wine a perfect partner for a special dinner or a festive occasion. For an optimal experience, decant it about 30 minutes before serving at approximately 18°C to let it fully develop. This wine is a testament to Villa Crine's passion for producing memorable wines that will linger in your memory long after the last drop.
