Accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in distinctive black frosted bottle. Well-deserving of a Decanter Gold medal (2017 vintage).
PRODUCTION
Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes cultivated in Montresor's vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico zone (north-west of Verona). The grapes are hand harvested at the end of October. The late harvested grapes are dried out for four months (until February of the following year) and then crushed. The must is fermented in stainless steel for four months. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks and small French barrique for two years.
TASTING NOTE
Hints of coffee and chocolate on the nose with ripe crushed berry, bitter cherry and sweet plummy fruit on the palate - backed by notes of bitter chocolate. Rich and warming yet fresh and well balanced, with supple tannins and a rich texture.
FOOD MATCH
Excellent with red meats, game or hard cheeses, especially Parmesan.
