Description
Product Description:Amarone at its most composed. i Castei’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2017 captures the quiet intensity that defines this northern Italian benchmark. From the hills of Valpolicella, a traditional blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara is air-dried before pressing, concentrating both fruit and structure in equal measure. The result is a wine of layered richness, guided by precision rather than power. Fermentation takes place slowly, allowing the must to reveal depth and texture through time rather than extraction. Maturation in seasoned oak brings harmony to the fruit, balancing black cherry, plum and dried fig with a thread of spice and tobacco. This is a confident expression of Amarone, full-bodied yet graceful, shaped by patience and craft.
