Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Valpantena DOCG - Costa Arènte 2018

The Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Valpantena DOCG by Costa Arènte embodies the essence of Valpolicella's oenological expertise, juxtaposing artisanal mastery with winemaking tradition. This extraordinary wine originates from a meticulous selection of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes from the clay and limestone soils of Valpantena, a valley blessed with a microclimate ideal for viticulture.

After harvesting, the grapes undergo the process of appassimento, losing about 30-40% of their weight and concentrating in aromas and sugars. This is followed by a slow fermentation and a lengthy aging in oak barrels, which imparts an extraordinary complexity to the wine.

The result is an Amarone with remarkable chromatic depth, featuring a deep ruby red color with garnet nuances. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe fruit, such as spirit-soaked cherries and plums, enriched with spicy notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is generous with a full body and a well-balanced tannic structure that evolves into a persistent and very elegant finish.

Ideal to accompany robust dishes like braised meats, stews, and aged cheeses, the Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Valpantena DOCG - Costa Arènte is a poetic expression of the Valpantena terroir, inviting moments of conviviality and reflection. A wine that continues to improve with aging, promising surprising evolutions for those who decide to wait. A regal entry into the world of high-end wines, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts eager to savor a piece of Italian winemaking history.
