Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG 2011 Corte San Benedetto (Reserva +)

Very rare wine, very low stock. After hand harvesting in mid September and careful hand selection only the best grapes are placed in small wooden crates and set aside to dry for 3 months. Then the grapes are softly pressed by natural gravity and left to slowly ferment. Aged partly in large Slavonia oak barrels and partly in small barrels for 5 years. If stored well, this Amarone can maintain its characteristics for another 20-25 years.

This Amarone has an intense garnet-red color. It is fruity with black cherries and prunes and contains a bouquet of dried flowers and a hint of sweet spices. The  wine is well structured and has a sense of mellowness, contrasted by velvety and rich tannins.

Food coupling: Traditionally served with game, grilled and braised meat, and well matured cheese . Please use vintage wine opener and decant wine after opening .

Grape varieties: 60% Corvina Verones, 25% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella

Average age of vines: 30+ years.
