Amarone della Valpolicella - Contessa Giulia

Amarone della Valpolicella Contessa Giulia builds its appeal on substance: a rich, broad profile with memories of very ripe fruit — cherry and plum — nuanced by notes of sweet spice, cocoa and a slight earthy accent. On the palate it shows density and a fine balance between softness and tannin; the sensation is warm but composed and the wine’s acidic freshness keeps it lively; the persistence is long, with fruity echoes and a slightly bitter finish that highlights its personality. It offers a pleasing balance of power and finesse.

It pairs naturally with structured dishes: braises, roasts and game, robust sauces and aged cheeses find an ideal partner in this wine; it also stands up well to mushroom preparations and, for a more contemplative pairing, dark chocolate. To appreciate its nuances serve not too warm, with a brief decanting to soften the more intense aromas; it is a wine for conversation and important tables, able to accompany rich dishes without overpowering them.
