Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG Octavius
The Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG “Octavius” 2015 by Marchesi Fumanelli is an exceptional red wine made from a careful selection of grapes from older vines. The grape variety composition comprises 40% Corvina Veronese, 40% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella. This combination contributes to a rich and intense flavor profile, which is reinforced by the traditional method of drying grapes over 120 days. After drying, the wine ages in 500L French oak barrels for 48 months and in the bottle for a further 12 months before being sold
.The wine is deep, dark ruby red and offers a complex aroma with notes of spices, concentrated fruits and nuances of pepper and plum. On the palate, it is impressive with powerful tannins and lively acidity, which result in a persistent,
hearty finish.The special feature of “Octavius” lies in its status as a riserva, which means that the wine is produced under stricter production conditions and has a longer aging period, resulting in an even more mature and complex wine. This Amarone is an example of the exquisite craftsmanship of Fumanelli, a winery with deep historical roots in the Valpolicella zone that has existed since 1470 and uses a combination of traditional and modern techniques
to produce wines of outstanding quality.
