Giuseppe Lonardi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is an intense and deeply concentrated red wine. On the nose, aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and dried figs combine with notes of crushed rocks, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is powerful and dense, with firm tannins that are balanced by a hint of sweetness. Flavors of dried fruit, licorice, and dark chocolate linger on the long finish. This is a complex and elegant Amarone that will age gracefully for the next couple of years.

In Veneto's Asolo, at the base of the Dolomite Alps, Francesco Serafini and Antonio Vidotto, a duo known for contrasting personalities, quietly established their winery in the mid-1980s. Recognized within a decade, their international-style blends gained acclaim, lauded as the "best in their category" by wine writers and featured on top wine lists in New York by the late 2000s. Amidst Asolo's historical viticultural legacy, erased during World War I, Serafini and Vidotto emerged as pioneers, revitalizing the region's tradition of grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Working with the Piave River Valley's ochre, iron-rich clay, and pebbly soils, they craft some of the world's finest red wines, including the rare Recantina grape. Despite being considered outliers for producing red wine in Prosecco territory, Serafini e Vidotto remains at the forefront, consistently pushing boundaries and delivering critically acclaimed Bordeaux blends.
