Amato

2006 Calabria Merlot

Amato Amato is an exquisite expression of Merlot from the picturesque Calabria region. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep ruby hue, hinting at the richness within. On the palate, it reveals a well-balanced acidity that adds a delightful vibrancy, making each sip a pleasure. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of ripe blackcurrants and red cherries, perfectly complemented by subtle earthiness and hints of spice. Tannins are firm yet approachable, providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. As a dry wine, Amato Amato makes for an ideal pairing with hearty dishes or as a standalone delight, embodying the warmth and character of southern Italy.

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.
