WINE DESCRIPTION

Roberto Mazzi’s Castel Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a distinguished red wine from Negrar in the Valpolicella region. This Amarone showcases a deep ruby-red color with enticing aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, enhanced by balsamic notes. Crafted from carefully selected Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which undergo natural appassimento, this wine offers a rich, warm palate with balanced freshness. Aged in new and second-use barriques for 24 months, followed by 12 months in bottle, it exemplifies traditional winemaking with modern refinement. With around 4,000 bottles produced annually, it is a rare gem.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Castel Amarone presents a complex bouquet of ripe cherry, blackberry, raspberry, and subtle balsamic hints.On the palate, it is warm and velvety, with a rich, full-bodied texture and well-integrated acidity. This wine pairs excellently with aged cheeses and is also a splendid choice for contemplative sipping, particularly alongside dark chocolate.
