Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2019

  Bulgarini Fausto's Amarone della Valpolicella is a special tribute to the traditional appassimento technique: Carefully selected grapes from the Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella varieties—the classic blend of the Valpolicella region—are used to create a wine that develops impressive concentration and maturity through the drying of the berries after harvesting. After fermentation, the wine is aged for years in large oak and barrique barrels, allowing the fruit, structure, and depth to come together in balanced harmony.

In the glass, the wine appears an intense ruby red with garnet reflections—a visual harbinger of its power and elegance. The bouquet unfolds complex aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and blackcurrants, complemented by spicy accents such as cloves, black pepper, and licorice, as well as hints of tobacco and leather, which suggest maturity and style. On the palate, this Amarone presents itself with a lush texture and yet a polished structure: velvety, ripe tannins frame the fruit, and the finish is long-lasting and stylish. A wine that is just as convincing with intense meat, game dishes, and mature cheese as it is as a meditative moment of enjoyment in a relaxed setting. - Gerardo [TS10/20]
