Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2019 Casalforte

What kind of wine is it

Amarone della Valpolicella Casalforte is a full-bodied, structured red wine made from dried Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes. It has an elegant character, with a complex bouquet and a smooth, generous palate.

Where it comes from

It comes from vineyards to the north of Verona, in the Valpolicella production area, the historic heartland of Amarone.

How it is made

The grapes are left to dry in lofts until January. Fermentation proceeds slowly, with a period of maceration in contact with the skins. The wine then ages in oak casks for at least 24 months.

Tasting notes

In the glass it shows a deep garnet red. On the nose there are cherry jam and cinnamon, enriched by spirit-soaked fruit, walnut, vanilla and coffee. On the palate it is smooth, full-bodied and well-structured, with black cherry flavor and a finish of spicy notes of vanilla and coffee.

Food pairings

Pairs with hearty first courses with rich sauces featuring truffle or game. Excellent with grilled red meats, braises and long-aged cheeses.

When to serve it

It’s a red for important meals and for occasions when you want to put a wine of great character on the table. Serve in a large-bowled glass, letting it breathe a few minutes before pouring.
