Description
The Amarone della Valpolicella by Cecilia Beretta, a brand of the Pasqua family, is a noble red wine reflecting the authentic expression of the Valpantena hills. The carefully selected grapes come from a calcareous-clay soil, which gives the wine its structure and complexity. This Amarone embodies the tradition and distinctive character of Valpolicella, best representing the bond between grape variety and territory.
The winemaking begins with the drying of the best bunches for 2-3 months on wooden racks, a process that increases the sugar concentration. Fermentation occurs for about 20-25 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques. The wine matures in wood for 18 months before further aging in the bottle for 6 months, ensuring a perfect balance between intensity and finesse.
On the nose, it expresses balsamic notes, ripe blackberry, and aromatic herbs, while on the palate it offers a enveloping structure with vigorous and well-integrated tannins. The crunchy berries meld into a long and pleasant finish, providing a harmonious and profound sip.
This Amarone pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses, enhancing the flavors with its intensity and complexity.
