The slopes facing the sunset are the best ones in Valpolicella Classica for producing high-quality Amarone. Here, where the day is longer, the vines that face Lake Garda benefit from the reflection of its light and from its mild climate. Amarone is a unique wine due to its origin, ancient grape varieties and production method (vinification of grapes that have been semi-dried for 3-4 months on bamboo racks).
91 points - Wine Specator
90 points - Robert Parker
Grape varieties: 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 5% Molinara
Deep ruby red color with mahogany reflections on the edges. Intense and highly developed nose with hints of ripe fruit and cherry jam. Clean on the palate with a delicious smoothness followed by the familiar hints of warm alcohol and obvious complexity to the structure. Long and delicate finish with touches of cinnamon and vanilla.
Amarone is a full-bodied wine for grilled or roasted red meats, game, and tasty and piquant cheeses, like parmesan.
