Tenute SalvaTerra trained many of its vines with the pergola method and dried out grapes naturally over a few months for its 2018 Antica Vigna Amarone della Valpolicella: two labor-intensive processes that have defined Veneto winemaking since at least Roman rule. Though challenging, the traditional techniques create deep secondary savory and umami flavors layered beneath the rich and velvety raisin, apricot, and strawberry notes. Now over half off, it's an opportune time to stock up on one of Italy's most unique red wine styles.

Tasting Notes
Amarone DOCG has remained unchanged in its typicality so that 'the essence of the territory' powerfully emerges. Rich in color, firmly structured but with fresh notes. This wine has personality and conveys elegance and depth upon tasting. It is rich and deep, elegant, potent, and simultaneously still young but already very balanced on the palate. The bouquet is broad with berries, dried flowers, licorice, and a spicy finish that blends well with the complexity of the wine.
