From the Veneto region of northwestern Italy, Amarone della Valpolicella is a blend of the Corvina, Rondinella & Molinara grape varieties. Grapes for the wine were dried on straw mats, increasing the sugar concentration, before being fermented & aged in oak barrels. Brooding, deep, intense aromas of Christmas cake, chocolate, cinnamon, sweet fruits & spice. The concentrated palate offers a thick texture & soft velvety tannins, very rich fruit characteristics. A wine that can age for up to 5 years or be enjoyed right now, particularly with game, rich pasta, tomato flavoured sauces & cheeses.
