AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG RED WINE

Our Amarone Della Valpolicella is sourced from our producer in the Valpolicella region of Italy who produces this intense red wine using only the finest grapes from each growing season. It is a high quality wine with marked astringency and pleasantly perceptible acidity. It has an abundance of ripe fruit flavours with black cherry, raspberry and plum jam tones. Its rich, dense and complex flavour means that it matches well with both autumnal and winter dishes including braised meats, stews and roasts.

A DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) wine is made using closely controlled and monitored production methods. Only wines showing consistently high standards earn promotion to DOCG status, with the 'G' denoting an additional “garantita,” or guarantee, by the Italian government to be wines of especially high quality.

• A You don’t need to decant this wine, but, any wine can be decanted. The reason for decanting is to aerate the wine; a lot of young wines can be tight or closed on the nose or palate. By slowly pouring the wine into the decanter it takes in oxygen which helps to open up the aromas and flavours.
