WINE DESCRIPTION
The Sterza David Farm boasts a rich tradition intertwined with family winemaking, dating back many years. However, its true inception took place in 1998. Collaborating closely with David is his cousin Paolo Mascanzoni, who recognized the superior grape quality from David's vineyards, despite his cousin's youth. Paolo encouraged David to take the bold step of processing the grapes himself, rather than selling them to other wineries. With great enthusiasm, David embraced this idea and established the Sterza David Farm. This winery is committed to a production philosophy that celebrates its unique regional character and distinctive terroir.

The aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of chocolate and tobacco, adding complexity to the overall experience.
The palate of David Sterza Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is full-bodied and velvety, with a luscious texture that coats the mouth. The flavors mirror the aromas, with an emphasis on the ripe dark fruits, complemented by nuances of vanilla and oak from the aging process.
