A classic yet approachable style of Amarone - richly-flavoured with appealing red berry fruit.
Production
Aftual manual-picking in mid-September, the Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes are stored on racks in drying rooms, until the January following the harvest. Fermentation takes place with skin contact and continual pumping over. The wine is aged in oak for 24 months.

Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
Rich aromas of ripe black cherry and plum, with dried fruit characters and a touch of toasty spice. The palate is plush with ripe plum and bramble characters, a hint of vanilla and pepper, supple tannins and juicy acidity.
Food match
A good match for rich pasta dishes, game and grilled or roasted red meats.
