Grape

Corvina, Molinara, Rondinella

Origin
From the Veneto region of northwestern Italy, Amarone della Valpolicella is a blend of the Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties. Grapes for the wine were dried on straw mats, increasing the sugar concentration, before being fermented and aged in oak barrels.
Taste
Brooding, deep, intense aromas of Christmas cake, chocolate, cinnamon, sweet fruits and spice. The concentrated palate offers a thick texture and soft velvety tannins, very rich fruit characteristics.
Enjoy
A wine that can age for up to 5 years or be enjoyed right now, particularly with game, rich pasta, tomato flavoured sauces and cheeses.

    A powerful red wine with great elegance.

    My wife and I recently attended a wine tasting event run by Majestic Wine. This wine was the "high end" red wine of the evening. Although we are both more the enthusiast than the expert, nonetheless, it was immediately clear that this wine was special. This wine has power and yet a velvety softness at the same time. There is a lot going on here. It is, in short, quite fabulous. Enjoy.

    good for the price

    This is a good entry level Amarone. Not quite as full bodied as some but very nice.
