AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG CLASSICO COLLEZIONE PRUVINIANO

The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classic Pruviniano Collection is an incredibly strong dry red wine with a dense and garnet colour and an intense and fruity aroma.

It has great structure and softness on the palate with a toasted, dried fruit aftertaste, and pairs perfectly with game, grilled meat, braised meet and aged cheeses. Great with conversation after a meal.

VINTAGE 2015

A very balanced year, even if the summer was fairly dry, during which time the excess water supply from the rainy 2014 nourished the vines. Thanks to the warm and prolonged summer temperatures, the vines notably developed their photosynthesis, increasing the concentration of sugars and colours. The 2015 vintage is marked for its great balance and longevity, with very soft and sweet tannins.
