WINE DESCRIPTION

Vecchio Marone Amarone della Valpolicella is a premium wine produced by the renowned winery Vecchio Marone in the Valpolicella appellation of Italy. The wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the region's unique vineyards, which feature a combination of limestone and clay soils and a mild climate. The winemaking process involves a traditional method of drying the grapes on straw mats, which concentrates their flavors and sugars. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. It is a perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This full-bodied Amarone della Valpolicella from Vecchio Marone is a powerhouse of a wine.On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe dark fruit, leather, and dried spices. On the palate, intense flavors of dark cherry and plum fill the mouth, with subtle notes of cracked pepper and tobacco. Tannins are firm and structured, leading to a long finish of dried herbs and spices. A great choice for any special occasion.
