The term “Classico” on an Italian label refers to the old, historic, original center of a region, often with a history that traces back to Roman times. It is in these historic vineyards that often the best wines of a region are produced.
Amarone is obtained from carefully selected grapes, dried for a period of 3-4 months in well-aired rooms. This brings an extraordinary concentration of sugars, tannins, extracts and glycerine. After that, grapes undergoes a soft pressing process and a low fermentation for over 40 days at controlled temperature with skins.
Deep opaque red with violet tinged edges. Rich, powerful bouquet with intense aromas of ripe red fruits and currant jam, dried flowers, spices, liquorice. Well-structured, very soft and velvety, supple tannins and memorable finish.
Amarone is a full-bodied wine for grilled or roasted red meats, game, and strong tasty cheeses. Generally considered a wine for meditation, it is a great after-dinner wine.
