Amarone Della Valpolicella B

2017 Valpolicella Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara

The Amarone Della Valpolicella B from the 2017 vintage is a captivating expression of the Valpolicella region, showcasing the unique blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. This red wine presents a deep garnet hue, hinting at its rich character. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, perfectly balanced by its high acidity, which brings a vibrant freshness that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark cherry, dried fig, and chocolate, complemented by subtle notes of spice and vanilla from the oak aging. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured and lingering finish. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes, aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
