Tasting Notes
Amarone della Valpolicella is a full-bodied red wine. The long, slow fermentation gives this wine a deep garnet red color, a complex bouquet of cinnamon, cherry jam, and walnut, and a palate of ripe black cherry fruit with notes of vanilla and coffee on the finish. It pairs perfectly with rich pasta dishes, game, and grilled or stewed meats as well as mature cheeses.
