Description

It represents an assembly of the most refined selections of Casalforte Amarone, highlighting the maximum natural expression of the fruit in this wine, enriched by a further two years of aging in wood. Production of the Riserva is limited: for the 2016 vintage, only 20,000 are available; this gives each bottle an exclusive character, making it an authentic experience for wine lovers.

This full-bodied wine is characterized by great elegance and finesse, highlighted by the pronounced aromas of ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and morello cherry in alcohol, plum jam, with suggestive spicy notes of cinnamon in the finish. In the mouth, nuances of liquorice and bitter cocoa emerge, accompanied by an extremely pleasant tannin that caresses the palate, inviting you to take another sip.

It goes perfectly with game dishes, stews and mature cheeses, but is also excellent as a meditation wine.
