Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

The 2000 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from Azienda Agricola Giuseppe Quintarelli epitomizes the pinnacle of Veneto craftsmanship. A blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and others, sourced from meticulously cultivated vineyards, it presents a deep garnet hue with brick-red highlights that signify its age. Complex aromas of dried cherries, plums, and figs meld seamlessly with tobacco, leather, cloves, and cinnamon on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, echoing the aromas with hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Firm, integrated tannins lend structure, balanced by refreshing acidity. The enduring finish layers dried fruits and spices. This Amarone is distinguished by its depth and elegance, ideal with rich dishes like braised meats, game, or aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own, a testament to Quintarelli's legacy of crafting world-class Amarone wines.
