Just thinking about how Amarone is made evokes excitement when it is tasted. Ruby-red when it is young, the colour deepens with age. It has an exciting nose with aromas of very ripe cherries and plums with a touch of liquorice. It leaves an enjoyable sensation of fruit, spices and even coffee on the palate. Tight tannins and a high level of alcohol give a robust wine with long lasting flavours on the finish. This is a rich, well-structured dry wine, fruity and liqueur-like with the noble bitterness that typifies Amarone. It is also very enjoyable as an after dinner drink when discussions get passionate.
Alcohol:+/-14.5%
Food pairing: This wine pairs well with pasta matched with a pesto or spicy tomato sauce, roast meats, and cheeses of the Parmesan style.
Serving: Between 14 degrees and 16 degrees celcius.
Comments: May be enjoyed young but also has the ability for extended aging.
