Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2018 by Fumanelli embodies the excellence and tradition of the renowned winery from Veneto. The carefully selected grapes — 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella — are grown on sun-drenched slopes in the classic Valpolicella zone, known for their calcareous clay soils and the ideal microclimate that promotes
the maturation of these varieties.The wine is deep ruby red with purple reflections. The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe cherries and plums, underlined by hints of spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a rich texture, characterized by well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity, which results in a long and
impressive finish.The special feature of this Amarone lies in its production method, the “appassimento” process, in which the grapes are dried after harvesting to increase concentration and depth of aroma. Drying is followed by slow fermentation and aging of at least 30 months in French oak barrels, giving the wine its characteristic depth and complexity
