2007 - Amarone Classico
Production area: Valpolicella Classica, Tenuta Novare ad Arbizzano di Negrar.
Soil: Calcareous and basaltic.
Vitigni: 80% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella.
Winemaking: Traditional natural method. Left to dry on arèle (traditional bamboo cane racks): 120 days. Crushing in the first days of January. Fermentation in concrete vats. Ageing for 6-7 years in 60-hl Slavonian oak barrels.
Style: A wine that strongly conveys its identity, with personality and recognisability. It is a distinctive Amarone with a classic style, where elegance prevails over power. Complex, balanced and well-orchestrated.
A wine with an invaluable and extraordinary longevity. An intense red colour, with garnet nuances. Typical and marked notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, followed by a wide variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, liquorice and spices. On the palate, overtones of red berry fruit, softened by velvety notes of vanilla, in perfect balance with the acidity and tannic notes.
Pairings: It can be paired with red meat, game and mature cheese, but it is also perfect at the end of a meal and as a “conversation” wine.
