WINE DESCRIPTION
Roberto Mazzi Punta di Villa Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara from a 2-hectare plot situated in the area of Negrar. The vineyards are planted on calcareous-limestone soils. Bunches of grapes are hand picked and allowed to dry in specially designed cellars called 'frutai' to lose over 50% of their weight, concentration both sugar and flavors. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel fermenters, before being aged in wood for around 30 months, with an additional 12 months of bottle aging prior to its release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Roberto Mazzi Punta di Villa Amarone della Valpolicella Classico stains the glass with a deep ruby color.The heavy tearing suggest a wine of significant weight and alcohol content. The nose explodes with a captivating bouquet of dried sour black cherries, dried figs, and hints of chocolate. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of spice and violets, which add depth and intrigue to the overall profile. The palate is rich and extremely full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors of dark chocolate, blackberries, and plum jam dominate, while a touch of balsamic adds a delightful tanginess. The wine's long and persistent finish leaves a lasting impression, with lingering notes of dried fruits.
