Product details
Wine Advocate-Amarone della Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy - The bouquet peels back with thick layers of black fruit, spice, campfire embers and toasted coffee bean.
The Valpolicella wine zone, in northeastern Italy’s Veneto region, produces some of Italy’s best-known red wines, using Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes.
Wines bearing the Valpolicella DOC label are fresh and cherry-scented, with a slight hint of bitterness on the finish. These light-bodied red wines are nice companions for food that might be overpowered by heavier red wines, and they can be chilled slightly to enjoy in warm weather. More substantial Valpolicella Superiore wines are one point higher in alcohol and are aged for a minimum of one year. Those labeled Valpolicella Classico are generally acknowledged to be of highest quality; they come from a designated zone at the heart of the Valpolicella region, where the grapes grow on steeply terraced vineyards.
