DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Amarone della Valpolicella is the big red of Italy's Veneto, made from grapes that are dried for weeks or months after harvest before they are pressed. Drying concentrates sugar and flavor, which is why Amarone is so full and rich. Palazzo Maffei's version uses the local grapes Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.
Expect ripe cherry and dried fruit with spice, a full body and soft tannins. For all its weight it finishes dry. The 2022 is young for an Amarone, so it is fruit-forward now and will gain savory depth with time.
Open it an hour ahead, decant if you can, and serve at 62-65F in a large glass. Braised beef, osso buco, mushroom risotto, game and aged Parmigiano are the classic partners. It also makes a fine sipping wine after dinner.
Bottle size: 750ml
