Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2020

Amarone della Valpolicella Docg Classico by Giovanni Dindo

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2020 by Giovanni Dindo is a wine of character and depth, crafted only in outstanding vintages. It represents the estate’s most celebrated expression, produced with a careful balance between tradition and patience.

Made from a blend of Corvina Veronese (50%), Corvinone (25%), Rondinella (20%), and Molinara (5%), this Amarone originates from hillside vineyards in the heart of Valpolicella. The grapes are hand-harvested in October and placed on wooden trays (plateaux) to dry naturally in the estate’s drying loft for about four months. During this period, each grape loses around 40% of its weight, concentrating sugars, aromas, and flavors.

After pressing, maceration takes place for 30 to 40 days at a controlled temperature of 18°C, ensuring a slow and gentle extraction of color and tannins. The wine then matures for three years — half in French oak tonneaux and half in large oak casks — gaining structure, harmony, and aromatic complexity.

In the glass, it shows a deep garnet-red color. The bouquet opens with aromas of licorice, caramel, tobacco, white flowers, and ripe cherry. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, yet refined, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish that leaves a warm impression.

Perfect with game, roasted meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, this Amarone expresses the elegance and authenticity of Giovanni Dindo’s winemaking philosophy.
