2012 Famiglia Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, Veneto

This is an Amarone par excellence: a wine of great class, appreciated by enthusiasts for its majestic style and complexity.
A deep red in colour, it has an expansive bouquet, with fresh, positive scents of fruits such as blackberries and cherries. On the palate it displays spicy tones that remind one of chocolate and freshly-roasted coffee, as well as sweetish vanilla-like notes from its long maturation in wood. It is warm and well-balanced, with gentle tannins and a long finish.

Excellent with grilled red meat, powerful game stews and aged, rich cheeses.
