Vigneti di Ettore Amarone della Valpolicella 2018 comes from the heart of Veneto, Italy, where the region’s rich winemaking traditions shine through in every bottle. Made from Corvina Veronese and Swallow grapes, this Amarone classico showcases the elegance and depth that define Valpolicella’s finest wines. Aged with minimal wood influence, it maintains a vibrant freshness while preserving its bold character.
The deep red color with garnet reflections hints at the complexity within. Aromas of ripe plum, cherry, and morello cherry lead into layered notes of dried fruit, tea leaf, licorice, and warm spices. The palate delivers rich red berry flavors softened by delicate touches of vanilla, all balanced by refreshing acidity and well-structured tannins.
At 16% ABV, this Amarone is best enjoyed slowly, allowing its intricate flavors to unfold. It pairs beautifully with hearty meats, aged cheeses, and cured meats, making it an excellent choice for indulgent meals and special occasions. Serve slightly below room temperature to experience its full depth and complexity.
