Montezovo Amarone Della Valpolicella

The grapes for this Amarone Della Valpolicella by Montezovo are grown in Tregnago with an altitude between 350-650 above sea level. The grapes remain in a drying facility for a few months in winter time. After fermentation, the wine begins its ageing process in barriques for around 24 months. The wine is then blended in wood vessels where it remains for a further 6 months. It's then bottled and refines for another 12 months before commercial release. 

An intense red ruby colour. Aromas of ripe fruits, cherries and notes of dried herbs and ground cloves. A full bodied wine that's rich and warm with ripe and round tannins, yet still succulent and fruit driven. Try with braised and stewed meat and game, grilled meats and mature cheese.

Montezovo wines are produced entirely with grapes from family-owned vines spread over the main Verona appellations: Valpolicella, Garda, Lugana and Lessini. Each wine is the result of conscious choices made in the vineyard, where the interaction between grape, soil, climate and location is all carefully considered. Many of Montezovo’s vineyards lie at unusually high altitude for the region, with most around 550 metres above sea level and some reaching beyond 900 metres. These elevated sites bring cooler temperatures and greater diurnal range, encouraging slower ripening, fresher acidity and greater aromatic precision in the fruit.
