The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG from Monte Zovo winery is one of the most authentic and appreciated expressions of Veronese wine. This wine represents the pinnacle of quality and winemaking tradition in Valpolicella, a territory renowned for producing robust and complex red wines.

Primarily made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, the production of this Amarone follows a traditional method that involves drying the grapes for several months. During this process, the fruits gradually lose water, concentrating sugars and aromas, resulting in a wine of extraordinary intensity and complexity.

On the nose, Monte Zovo's Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG offers a rich aromatic palette, with notes of ripe fruit such as cherry and plum, and hints of sweet spices like vanilla and cocoa, derived from the long aging period in oak barrels. On the palate, it presents a powerful yet balanced structure, with soft tannins and a pleasant aromatic persistence that invites sip after sip.

Ideal to serve with robust dishes such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses, this Amarone also stands out as a meditation wine, perfect for enjoying on its own to contemplate its richness and depth.

Monte Zovo winery, attentive to quality and sustainability, carefully manages each phase of production, from the vineyard to the cellar, ensuring that every bottle reflects the authenticity and character of the Valpolicella territory. A wine that not only tells a story of passion and dedication but also represents an unforgettable oenological experience for every wine lover.
