Is there a better winter wine style than Amarone? Made partially with dried grapes to concentrate flavours and aged in oak, then in bottle, this is a rich and comforting red. Plush cherry, black berries and damson fruit, with hints of chocolate and spice, wrapped in rounded approachable tannins. An ideal winter warmer that pairs well with slow-cooked meat or roasted field mushrooms.
