AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG CLASSICO DOMINI VENETI

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico is the absolute expression of the balance between elegance and structure. It is produced with grapes grown in the Valpolicella Classica area and left in drying rooms, then aged in large oak barrels for at least 18 months and in bottles for another 6-8 months. In a word, it is a satisfying wine: it satisfies the eye with its dense, compact garnet-red colour. It satisfies the nose with an intense fruity aroma. And of course, it satisfies the palate that loves intense flavours. Serve it at 16 -18 °C with grilled meat, braised meat, game and aged cheeses.

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.
