Wine Expert Note:

Acinum Amarone della Valpolicella is a prestigious Italian red wine that originates from the Valpolicella region in Veneto. This wine is made using a unique winemaking technique called appassimento, where the grapes are dried before fermentation. The result is a rich and concentrated wine with intense flavors and aromas. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as black cherry, plum, and blackberry, accompanied by notes of dried herbs, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, this wine showcases a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The flavors mirror the aromas, with an emphasis on the ripe dark fruits, complemented by nuances of chocolate, coffee, and spices. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression. Acinum Amarone della Valpolicella is a wine that can age gracefully, developing further complexity and depth over time. It pairs exceptionally well with rich and hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, aged cheeses, and even dark chocolate desserts.
