A new release, from a single 10 hectares vineyard in Marcellise, eastern Valpolicella. It's on a basaltic plateau that gives great acidity and thus longevity. Drink it in 5-7 years.

Coffee and chocolate on top of dark cherries. Nice spice but not as intense as some Amarones I’ve tasted. Very good with our Nana’s Gravy with braised short ribs and tagliatelle

Lots of maturity and arancio. Tawny (leather, chocolate, dried fruit) character.

This one cut my legs, as the Italians say. At 17% is has the density of a Vintage Port but without being syrupy or sickly sweet. Intensely rich and deep with fig and golden raisin flavored this is a big wine that somehow still retains a freshness. Wonderful bottle at the end of a dinner.
