Villa Mondi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Veneto

For the Amarone, the Valpolicella grapes are harvested in early October. To dry them, the grapes are placed on special wooden racks in well-ventilated rooms for about three months. During this time, they lose up to 40% of their original weight. At the same time, sugars, aromas, and extracts are concentrated. In mid-January, fermentation begins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, lasting around 45 days. The wine then undergoes several years of aging in wooden barrels. It has a dark, dense ruby red color. On the nose, it is wonderfully intense with notes of ripe plums, fruit compote, and sweet warm spices, complex and refined. On the palate, it is juicy, layered, and dense. Again, there are fine, ripe aromas that evoke memories of rum pot. A composition of sweet, ripe fruits with a very harmonious tannin structure, accompanied by elegant acidity and a long, aromatic finish. It is a delight with hearty meat dishes, game, and also pairs well with mature Gorgonzola or Parmigiano.
