Amarone della Valpolic DOC 2020

Produced in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Northern Italy, Amarone della Valpolicella DOC is a prestigious wine made under strict DOC regulations. Corte Adami is a respected producer located in this renowned area, known for its traditional and quality-driven winemaking.

The wine is primarily made from a blend of native grape varieties:

• Corvina Veronese (dominant grape)
• Rondinella
• Molinaro (sometimes included)

Amarone della Valpolicella is produced using the traditional "appassimento" method:

• Grapes are harvested late and then dried for several months on racks or in well-ventilated rooms to concentrate sugars and flavors.
• After drying, grapes are gently pressed and fermented slowly at controlled temperatures.
• The wine undergoes extended aging, often in large Slavonian oak casks or smaller French oak barrels, for a minimum of two years to develop complexity and smoothness.

Corte Adami's Amarone della Valpolicella typically exhibits:

• Deep ruby to garnet color with intense concentration.
• Rich aromas of ripe dark fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, complemented by notes of dried figs, spices, vanilla, and hints of tobacco.
• Full-bodied palate with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish.
• Complex layers of flavor that evolve with aeration and aging.

This Amarone pairs excellently with rich and flavorful dishes, including:

• Red meats such as braised beef, venison, and game
• Hearty stews and roasted lamb
• Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino
• Truffle-based dishes and mushroom risottos
• Dark chocolate desserts for a refined finish
