Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'Brevettata' 75cl

Affordable, accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in distinctive black frosted bottle.

Hints of coffee and chocolate on the nose and plenty of forward sweet blackberry and plum fruit on the palate. Supple tannins and a rich texture.

This long established Veronese family company, headed by Giorgio Montresor, is producing wines which increasingly rival the offerings of the region's more fashionable names. The estate wines, from 100 ha of vineyards in Valpolicella and Garda, offer remarkable value for money, particularly the Capitel della Crosara vineyard near Negrar which produces fine, richly-flavoured Ripasso and a generous, classically-styled Amarone with great concentration and texture.

Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes cultivated in Montresor's vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico zone (North-West of Verona). The grapes are hand harvested at the end of October.

Excellent with red meats, game or hard cheeses, especially Parmesan.

Corvina veronese 50%, Rondinella 35%, Molinara 15%
