VANTOROSSO Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
Tasting Notes
The nose is stern in the beginning and slowly turns in the glass to sweet and soft scents of cherry jam, as well as slightly withered red and purple flowers, followed by notes of dark tobacco and black pepper with a slight tone of balsamic and resin. In the mouth the wine expresses a pleasant play between the enfolding warmth of alcohol, the fresh and juicy feel of fruits and the astringency of tannins that leads the sip into a clean and slightly bittering.
Corvina
The key varietal of Valpolicella, Corvina wines tend to be bright red and lighter in structure. Corvina's high level of acidity and distinctive cherried, herbaceous flavours are essential to the character of the wine.
Corvinone
A grape very similar to Corvina, but with better characteristics of resistance to water stress and tendency to dry.
