Drinking Window: 2023 - 2029
Made partially with dried grapes to concentrate flavours, rich Amarone is an ideal winter warmer wine. This is a blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella, aged in large oak casks for three years. Plush black berry and cherry aromas, with a hint of chicory. Voluptuous velvety palate, with smooth black fruit, damsons and plum, plus hints of chocolate, wrapped in rounded approachable tannins.
