Pieropan Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.

Amarone, classic wine from the Valpolicella region, is a new, exciting venture for the Pieropan family. It comes from the desire to test our skills with the Valpolicella zone, which though a neighbour of Soave, is very different and completely unique. It stems also from the desire to make a top red wine, both rich and structured, but also elegant and fine in line with the whole Pieropan range.

The grapes from the Cellore d’Illasi on the Garzon hill, are hand-picked into small boxes during September. The grapes are dried naturally.

The grapes are pressed and de-stemmed. The must is fermented at 23-24°C for approximately 30 days during which time pumping over and punching down the cap takes place every day.

Brilliant and intense ruby red in colour characterful wine a heady perfume of black cherries, blackberries and plums on the palate it is complex and rounded, whit a powerful structure supporting the fruit and a lovely freshness on the finish. A wine with plenty of character whit the potential to age well.

It makes an excellent partner for game dishes, grilled or braised meat, powerfully flavoured and mature cheeses. It is also ideal served among friends at the end of the meal.
