Amarone della Valpolicella is in accord with an ancient tradition that calls for the use of grapes that have been naturally semi-dried (appassimento) over several months. The wine then matures in large oak barrels. This is an intense wine, generous and superbly-balanced, that releases rich fragrances of ripe cherry and wild berry fruit, ending on a hint of chocolate. It is the perfect partner to grills and roasts, wild game and aged cheeses.
