Description

Amarone della Valpolicella Docg by Corte Canella

Impressions:
The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Corte Canella stands as an elegant, refined, and robust wine, perfectly aligning with the winery’s aspirations to produce exceptional wines. Its sophistication is evident in every glass.

Concept:
The goal is to craft an Amarone that honors traditional methods while improving its character through diligent care in the vineyard. This approach aims to highlight the unique attributes of the grapes, presenting an Amarone that is true to its roots.

Features:
A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina grapes is used, focusing on maintaining their inherent potency. The grapes are withered for 70 to 90 days, followed by a slow fermentation process of approximately 15 days at a controlled temperature. The wine undergoes maturation for 36 months in 50% new barriques, followed by two years in the bottle, which ensures its complex and profound flavor.

Pairings:
This Amarone is a perfect match for braised meats, roasts, and game, enhancing the taste of spicy, aged cheeses. It also pairs well with chocolate, making it suitable for serene winter evenings by a book and fireplace, offering a moment for quiet contemplation.

Visual Analysis: Showcasing a deep garnet red color, the wine hints at its rich character.
Olfactory Analysis: Aromas of dried fruits and cherries dominate the nose, supported by a smooth tannin structure that adds complexity and finesse.
Gustatory Analysis: The palate experiences a balanced harmony of alcohol warmth, with licorice and chocolate notes, and a discreet wood presence. Its finish is enduring and fulfilling, reflecting the wine’s exceptional quality.
Recommendation: To fully appreciate its qualities, opening the wine 3-4 hours before serving is advised.
