NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Marchesi Fumanelli Amarone is a prestigious Italian wine that hails from the Veneto region.This wine is crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where the grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate their flavors.
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 Amarone showcases a full-bodied and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and balance. The rich fruit flavors persist, with additional layers of chocolate, coffee, and spice adding depth and complexity. The wine's high alcohol content is well-managed, contributing to a long and satisfying finish.
Marchesi Fumanelli Amarone is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has excellent aging potential. It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses. Serve it at a slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate its nuances.
