Amarone Riserva 2016

Corte Adami Amarone Riserva is produced in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Italy. This area is renowned for its traditional Amarone wines, crafted from grapes grown in the hills surrounding Verona.

The wine is made primarily from native grape varieties typical of the Valpolicella appellation:

• Corvina Veronese
• Rondinella
• Molinaro (Molinar)

The Amarone Riserva undergoes the traditional appassimento process, where grapes are carefully dried for several months to concentrate sugars and flavors before fermentation. The wine is then aged for an extended period in oak barrels to develop complexity and structure, followed by additional bottle aging to reach optimal maturity.

This Amarone Riserva exhibits a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherry and plum, complemented by notes of dried figs, spices, vanilla, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety with well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.

Ideal pairings for Corte Adami Amarone Riserva include:

• Rich red meats such as braised beef or venison
• Game dishes
• Aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino
• Hearty stews and mushroom-based dishes
