AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG 2017 – JEROBOAM 3L

240,00 €

Amarone has an intense, garnet red color, with vibrant ruby highlights. The nose immediately shows its complexity, the result of the special production process of this wine, in which the grapes are fer-mented after four months of drying and subsequently undergoing a long period of maturation in wood. Cherries soaked in alcohol is the characteristic note that emerges from the glass, followed by a spicy scent of sweet and pungent pipe tobacco. Hints of black currants, blackberries, violets and red roses make up the nose, along with a balm-like hint of licorice and rosemary, and a velvety note of cocoa. The wine is warm and mouth-filling, with marked but rounded tannins, as well as a dash of still crunchy fruit, which refreshes the palate along with the backbone of minerality.
