The Amarone della Valpolicella 2015 Riserva from Monte Tondo has a deep ruby-red colour with garnet nuances that reflect its maturity. The nose is seductive and complex, with dominant notes of dried cherries, figs and plums, supported by hints of clove, cinnamon and a touch of liquorice. Subtle accents of cedarwood and dark chocolate add extra depth. On tasting, the wine reveals a full, rich texture with velvety tannins. The dried-fruit flavours are beautifully balanced by lively acidity and a refined oak influence. The wine offers a harmonious combination of intensity and elegance, with subtle touches of spice and roasted nuts thanks to the long ageing in oak barrels. The finish is exceptionally long and balanced, with lingering notes of ripe fruit and warm spice that stay on the palate for a long time.
Perfect with game dishes such as venison stew, roast lamb, truffle risotto, or robust cheeses such as Pecorino Romano.
