In the Glass: The wine is of rich and vivid ruby red, with some garnet reflex. The nose is stern in the beginning 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.
Food Pairings: Amarone has a prominent body and strong personality that works well with the sharp flavours of game meat and can match succulent and very complex meals such as stews and braised meats and even a vaccinara tail. If you want to treat yourself, taste it at the end of a meal with bits of dark chocolate.
