Amarone Classico Santa Sofia 2021

The Amarone Classico from Santa Sofia is a Venetian red powerful and elegant at the same time. On the nose, we are faced with a range of bold and delicate notes, while on the palate the drink is dynamic and juicy, supported by an important tannic texture, where the warmth from the alcohol content is softened by a good vein of freshness. An absolute stature label, which further enhances its dimension thanks to the great final persistence. The perfect bottle to uncork during winter dinners.

This Amarone Classico is born from a blend of indigenous red grape varieties from the Veneto region, Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. These varieties are grown near the hilly lands around the municipalities of Negrar, Fumane, San Pietro in Cariano, and Mariano, where the subsoil is mainly composed of stones. The bunches, after harvesting, are dried for a period ranging from 90 to 120 days in a fruit drying facility of Santa Sofia. After vinification, the wine is allowed to rest first for 36 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, and then, after the bottling operations are completed, for at least another 12 months directly in glass.

The Amarone Santa Sofia develops in the glass with a typically ruby color, very dense and concentrated, practically impenetrable to the eye. Rich and layered on the nose, which tells a story with a soul of a thousand facets, starting from fruit jam to spicy hints and more balsamic touches. On the palate, it has an excellent structure, muscular, with a stern and important sip thanks to the body of the tannins; it finishes with a finale endowed with excellent persistence. A round, rich, and powerful Venetian red that faithfully tells the extraordinary land of Valpolicella.
