Grape: Corvina-dominant blend typical of Amarone I am from: Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy — a region famed for producing some of Italy’s most powerful, expressive reds.
The Story
I am an Amarone della Valpolicella — the proud offspring of a centuries-old Italian tradition that begins with carefully dried grapes. In Valpolicella, winemakers allow harvested fruit to partially desiccate before fermentation, concentrating sugars, flavor, and intensity in every berry. What emerges is a wine of rare presence: deep ruby in color with aromas that weave together dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. I am born of Veneto’s sunny hills, cool evenings, and a craft that celebrates richness without heaviness — a wine meant to be savored slowly and remembered fondly.
Why You’ll Love Me
I greet you with generous notes of black cherry and plum, underpinned by subtle spice and a whisper of tobacco. My palate is full-bodied and intense, yet harmoniously balanced, with velvety tannins and a smooth finish that invites another sip. I’m the kind of wine that transforms robust meals into memorable dinners and elevates quiet evenings into celebratory occasions. In every glass, you’ll find both drama and grace — a testament to Amarone’s noble heritage.
