Description
The Special Christmas Edition No. 1 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Allegrini is an exclusive wine, born in the hillside vineyards of Valpolicella, Veneto, at an altitude between 450 and 520 meters. This Christmas edition represents a celebration of Italian wine excellence, designed to encapsulate the magic of great occasions in every bottle.
The grapes, manually harvested and left to dry in the drying room until losing 45% of their weight, are pressed in December. Fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature for about 25 days with frequent pump-overs. Aging continues in first and second pass barriques for 18 months, followed by an additional 7 months in bottle before being released to the market.
It presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it exudes a broad and complex aromatic profile, with notes of ripe black fruit, violet, black pepper, thyme, and Mediterranean herbs, followed by hints of underbrush, dried fruits, figs, and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and deep, with well-integrated mature tannins and a persistent and elegant finish.
This special edition is perfect to pair with Amarone risottos, mushroom pappardelle, braised meats, or slow-cooked game dishes.
