Zonin Amarone Della Valpolicella 2013
Fine Veronese wine made with grapes that have previously undergone appassimento, the classic and traditional partial drying (raisining) of grapes in special lofts: after a late harvest, the grapes are partially dried, followed by slow fermentation and skilful, lengthy ageing. Sanguine ruby-red in colour, dark and sombre at its core, it expresses generous red fruit but without excess or exuberance, especially plum and woodland berries, alongside a measured savoury note. All-enveloping, it has a hint of heady alcohol on the end. The palate is soft with firm but velvety tannins, a three-dimensional body with a long and lingering finish that emphasizes the sweetness of the fruit and the wine’s expressive power without detriment to pleasure or finesse. A majestic pairing with rich meats, especially furred game but also Good with extra-mature cheeses.

The grapes are carefully selected, with groups of pickers making several passes through the vineyard to ensure that only the very best and perfectly botrysised grapes are used for the wine.
