WINE DESCRIPTION
Antolini Morópio Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a full-bodied gem crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara, and Rondinella grapes. The vines, around 50 years old, are planted at 350 meters altitude amidst olive and cherry trees, contributing to the wine's unique terroir. With a robust and high alcohol, the wine undergoes a meticulous maturation process: 24 months in a mix of oak, cherry, chestnut, and mulberry wood barrels, followed by an additional 6 to 12 months in bottle. This extended aging imparts complex flavors and a rich, nuanced character, making it a distinguished expression of Veneto's winemaking tradition.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Antolini Morópio Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a prestigious wine from the Valpolicella region in Italy.This wine is made using the traditional appassimento method, where the grapes are dried before fermentation, resulting in a rich and concentrated flavor profile.
On the nose, this Amarone offers intense aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherry, plum, and blackberry, accompanied by hints of dried herbs, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a luscious texture and well-integrated tannins.
The flavors of this wine are complex and multi-layered, showcasing notes of black fruit preserves, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of dried fruit and a subtle hint of sweetness.
