VANTOROSSO Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
Tasting Notes
On the nose it is inebriating. It opens up slowly to reveal the typical scents from Valpolicella hills: ripe cherry, red berries and in the end a pleasant note of spices. In the mouth it is exciting. Its strength and elegance are enveloped in soft roundness with gentle tannins for a clean finish.
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.
