THIS IS WINE

Above: Dante Alighieri lived in Verona for several years after his exile, and his son Pietro decided to remain in the area, and in 1353 acquired the Casal dei Ronchi estate in

Gargagnago, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Winemaking activities began in the 1500s - a tradition which still continues uninterrupted today. After twenty generations, the

house and lands belong to the Conti Serego Alighieri family, direct descendants of Italy's Supreme Poet. For more than six centuries, this noble family has been part of the cultural and

viticultural history of Valpolicella and of Verona. The historic Serego Alighieri estate. Photography courtesy Masi Agricola.

The Tenuta Serego Alighieri is located in the

heart of the Valpolicella Classico region.

Founded in 1353 by the son of Dante, Italy’s

national poet of Inferno fame, Pietro, who

settled in the rolling hills on the outskirts of

Verona following his father’s exile there for a

number of years. His descendants have been

working the land since. The oldest and

historically most important winery in the

Valpolicella region, now under the umbrage of

the Masi group.

This blend is Corvina, Rondinella, and the

Serego Alighieri clone of the Molinara grape,

aged in cherry-wood casks.

Serego Alighieri’s Vaio Armaron Amarone

della Valpolicella Classico 2016 is undergrowth,

woody flavours, some floral with tobacco and

cedar in the front, centre and finish. An entry

of ripe dark stone fruit plum and black cherry,

dark chocolate, anise, coriander, vanilla,

cinnamon with a chicory and coffee finale.

Strong rubiesque port-like textures and

flavours.

Not yet extremely complex but certainly one

of the more generous, feisty and full-bodied

Amarones with excellent pedigree and a long

aging trajectory ahead - especially with a

fantastic year like 2016.

Supplier details: Attard & Co. Wines has a good range of Amarone and Italian wines. In the Masi portfolio there is also Costasera Amarone, Costasera

Amarone Classico, Costasera Amarone Riserva, Cantina Privata Boscaini Mazzano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, and Cantina Privata Boscaini
