DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Zonin's Amarone comes from the Valpolicella area of the Veneto, made from the local Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grapes.
Winemaker Franco Giacosa uses the traditional appassimento method: the grapes are dried before fermentation, which concentrates their sugars and flavors and gives the wine its depth and chewy texture. The 2021 shows red currant, raspberry, black pepper, licorice and a smoky, woodland note. It is dense and full bodied, with velvety tannins and crisp acidity. Dry and powerful now, and it should gain complexity over the next five or six years.
Serve at 62 to 65°F in a large red wine glass, and decant for an hour. Pair with braised beef, grilled game sausage, roast rabbit or an eggplant casserole topped with aged pecorino.
