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.

Every wine grower knows that the most balanced grapes come from the “middle of the hill”. Costa Mediana (middle hill in English) represents this native knowledge which is the result of a sincere devotion to the most precious element we have: the earth!

This wine is obtained through a particular technique which is peculiar to Valpolicella area.

FOOD PAIRINGS
Amarone matches perfectly grilled red meat dishes and seasoned cheeses.

TASTING NOTES
Deep purple red, ripe fruits and luscious nose, full body, highly alcoholic yet so round to remind a certain natural sweetness.
