Valpantena Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend

Just had a glass - full bodied - like fruit and nut Milk chocolate. A little too big for a warm day but definitely a mouthful of flavour. Amarone is more a winter red I think.

Bertani founded in 1857 by brothers Gaetano and Giovan Battista Bertani. Today Vinicola Bertani owns its own vineyards. A blend of 80% Corvina & 20% Rondinella, aged in Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months. Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, nuts and spice notes. On the palate sweet cherry and ripe strawberry with cacao and cinnamon spice. Round soft full tannins, balanced with acidity on a long finish ending with earthy nutty mineral tones. Nice.

Showing aleeady quite some tertiary notes: leather and autumleaves….

Medium ruby color.
Aromas of raspberry jam, strawberry pastry, spice.
Dry. Flavors of raspberry jam, baked strawberry, cinnamon, floral. Medium-rich, velvety tannins.

Intensity: 5/5
Complexity: 2/5
