Then to the topic; Amarone della Valpolicella, usually known as Amarone, is a typically rich Italian dry red wine made from the partially dried grapes. For this wine grapes used in production are Corvina 50%, Corvinone 35%, Rondinella 10% Croatina & Dindarella 5%.The final result is a very ripe, raisiny, full-bodied wine with very little acid with over 15% alcohol content.
Tasted wine as aperitf and then with fillet steak. Excellent match, wine became even sweeter with salty meat and peppers. Suits definately with all meats, cheeses and even with Asian food.
THE LOOK
Dark red with some hints of brown color
THE NOSE
Warm, cherry like generous bouquet
THE TASTE
Rich and well balanced, almost sweet as Amarones usually are
Excellent red wine especially for fans of Amarone. Winery produces only 3500 bottles per year of this wine which makes this wine rarity. Do not be scared about alcohol content, it is only 15.5%.
REVIEW: OVERALL GRADE 5-/5 – BANG FOR THE BUCK +++/+++
