Tasting notes

Amarone, the exclusive symbol of Valpolicella Classica, is a highly structured, complex, elegant and velvety wine. It has an intense ruby red colour and a warm, spicy bouquet reminiscent of raisined fruit. Ageing potential: 18-20 years

Food pairings

Ideal with game, char-grilled and braised meats and fully matured cheeses. Due to the lingering aroma of raisined grapes, it can be paired with the fascinating delights of Asian an MiddleEastern cuisine and their unmistakable spicy and sweet-sour flavour combination
