Amarone is a full-bodied, balanced, pleasant wine. The carefully selected harvest, drying on trellises and ageing in small oak casks make it "Il vino degli Dei" (the Wine of the Gods). The grapes are hand-picked in cases and taken directly to the drying room where, at a controlled temperature and ventilation, they are left to dry out from the end of October to February. They are then fermented with daily pump-overs and left to age for two years. The resultant wine is very structured and rich. Food pairing: With braised meat, stews, roasts and game, but also goes well with cold cuts and seasoned and very mature cheeses. It is recommended also as a “meditation wine” slowly sipped to round off a meal. Serving temperature: 18-20° C. Taste: Full, round, great body and structure, warm, persistent and intense to the palate. Tannins and acidity are in perfect balance with the alcohol, contributing to the harmony and to the great pleasantness of this wine. Appearance: Intense ruby red with garnet tinges. Aroma: Characterised by an intense bouquet of mature red fruit (marasca cherry, plum, blackcurrants), of black cherry and raspberry jam, nutmeg and chocolate. Grape variety: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella.
