Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2021<\/strong> is one of the finest examples of the Veronese winemaking tradition, a wine of extraordinary elegance and complexity made from selected grapes from the Valpolicella Classica region that have undergone the traditional drying process. A great red wine for meditation, capable of expressing power, finesse and a remarkable ability to evolve over time.<\/p>\n

The grapes are harvested from the hillside vineyards of the Valpolicella Classica area and left to dry for a period of between 80 and 100 days<\/strong>, concentrating the aromas, structure and richness of flavour. The long ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels completes the maturation process, imparting harmony, depth and extraordinary elegance to the wine.<\/p>\n

Drying and Ageing<\/h3>\n

The grapes undergo a traditional drying period of between 80 and 100 days.<\/p>\n

Ageing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Tasting Notes<\/h3>\n

    Visually, it presents an intense deep ruby red<\/strong>, almost impenetrable, enriched with elegant garnet hues.<\/p>\n

    The bouquet is broad, refined and complex. Notes of ripe cherry, blackcurrant and prune emerge, accompanied by hints of milk chocolate, rhubarb and delicate balsamic sensations of mentholated tobacco.<\/p>\n

    On the palate, it reveals great structure and balance. The tannins, ripe and well-integrated, support an enveloping and persistent texture. The alcohol content is perfectly balanced by a lively citrus freshness that lends vigour and harmony to the palate.<\/p>\n
