Amarone Della Vallpolicella
$46.99
When we think of history and tradition we cannot do other than imagining distant and forgotten times. The past is a warm and colorful place compared to the mechanical coldness of the present…although not all the time. In certain things the tradition survives, carried on by the same loving hands of the past. Hands that caress the grapes as they have caressed the hair of their grandchildren, who, then, return them to the grapes. This is what lies behind the historical name of wine production: the Azienda Agricola Fratelli Degani, whose name suggests how their activity is lived. A family management, in the truest sense of the word, where all the activities, from the first manual harvesting of the grapes, their drying for the glory of Amarone and Recioto, the vinification and, finally, bottling, are followed by family members and implemented according to traditional methods.

Very good vintage, similar to 2015. Characterized by excellent day/night temperature fluctuations, after a few rains in spring it went better and better with a perfect summer, never too hot. The result was a heavy grapes characterized by high sugar content and good acidity that will lead to very good wines with great aging potential.
Intense garnet red in color, this wine is rich, full bodied and firm. Its perfume is clear and fresh, its taste is velvety and lingering. Well structured and beautifully balanced.
Red fruits, especially cherry, with notes of chocolate and vanilla in the aftertaste. Powerful, very persistent.
Recommended with red meat, game, grilled-meat, braised meat and seasoned cheese.
If stored at uniform temperature of 14-15° C, laid and away from light sources, the wine maintains its characteristics unaltered for 15-18 years.
