Il Cedrone Rosso 2016
Veronese IGT
Beyond the Label
Il Cedrone is crafted using the classic Amarone grapes of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella by Cantina di Negrar in the Valpolicella region. All the grapes are hand-picked and it’s aged in large barrels for just three months which gives it a gossamer cloak of oak without taking away from the freshness and fruitIt contains a portion of ‘Ripasso-style’ wine giving it a lovely richness and depth of flavourIl Cedrone is named after Gallo Cedrone, a rare bird that lives in the mountains surrounding Valpolicella. A seductive, spicy, plummy nose leads into a mouthfilling palate of juicy plums and mulberries. Warming notes of cinnamon, cigarbox and mint add complexity, with the oak adding a hint of tobacco. With perfectly balanced tannins and a soft, juicy lingering finish, it will pair superbly with grilled meats.
