Costa Arente Amarone Riserva DOCG 2017 - 750ml

Amarone is the great red of the Veneto, made from grapes dried for several months before fermentation, which concentrates sugar, color and flavor. This Riserva from Costa Arènte uses Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella and has a long ageing: 3 years in barrels, 1 year in large Slavonian oak casks and another year in bottle. Deep ruby with violet glints. The nose shows ripe red and black fruit, spice, cocoa and chocolate. The palate is full-bodied, with ripe tannins, balanced acidity and a long finish of liquorice, cocoa and chocolate. 17% ABV. Pairs with roast red meat, lamb, pork and polenta with meat ragù. Serve at 16–18 °C.
