Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
Loading...
If you love bold, powerful reds, this dense, cherry-charged Amarone is one to pick. This style is from northern Italy and uses air-dried grapes. This is a great 2018 from a small, third-generation estate – intense fruit, with tobacco and spice notes.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Amarone is one of Italy’s most prized styles, described by Wine Enthusiast as “one of 15 icons in Italian wine”. Rooted in the tradition of sun-drying grapes before fermentation, Amarone wines offer exceptional richness with power and complexity. La Formica is from a third-generation family estate, now run by Graziano Prà. His grandfather founded the property, starting out as a grower, but Graziano preferred to train as an oenologist. With 45 vintages under his belt, he’s regarded as one of the finest in Italy. His aim is merely to guide the grapes, so a wine is expressive of its terroir. Made from grapes dried for three months, this red has great intensity. Decant early and enjoy with hearty dishes and roasted red meats, or cellar.
