A rich, dense and fullbodied<br />
wine. Montigoli<br />
Amarone della<br />
Valpolicella Classico<br />
has aromas of coffee<br />
and coffee liqueur with<br />
bitter chocolate and<br />
smoke. In the mouth,<br />
it is smooth with dark fruit flavours and a<br />
grainy texture. After the grapes were picked<br />
in early October, they were left to dry for 120<br />
days. They were then destemmed and gently<br />
crushed in February and slowly fermented<br />
on skins for 30 days with regular punching<br />
down of the skins. The wine was matured in<br />
large vats made from oak from the Allier and<br />
Nevers forests in France for 18 months.<br />

The Castellani family has been growing<br />
grapes in the heart of the classic Valpolicella<br />
region for over one hundred years. The<br />
29 hectares of vineyards are located around<br />
Marano on hillsides between 150 and<br />
300 metres and are organically farmed.<br />
Amarone, a specialty of the region, is made<br />
from a selection of the best grape bunches<br />
which are picked and left to dry on cane<br />
drying racks for several months. The grapes<br />
loose approximately 40% of their water<br />
content as they become concentrated. The<br />
2016 Amarone Classico has a complex<br />
bouquet with fresh cherries, raspberries,<br />
raisins and redcurrants, and a touch of<br />
vanilla. It is soft and smooth with a fine<br />
texture. It is on the lighter side of medium<br />
bodied, despite an alcohol level of 16%. This<br />
wine is delightfully elegant and balanced,<br />
finishing with flavours of cranberry and<br />
redcurrant. After a long slow fermentation, it<br />
was matured in large oak casks.<br />
