The Story
Still red, Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG, 15.5% ABV, produced by Casa Sartori 1898. Blend: 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone, 10% Croatina. 0.75 L bottle, 2015 vintage. An Amarone Riserva born from the passion of a historic winery, founded in 1898, and from the expert care taken in selecting the grapes. The grapes are carefully selected and placed in small plastic crates of approximately 5-6 kg and then placed in special drying rooms (fruttaio) for approximately 3 months. Spicy aromas of dried figs, morello cherry, and aromatic herbs. Ruby red color with violet reflections of good intensity and density. On the palate, it is balanced, with elegant tannins and a pleasant, velvety balsamic note. Excellent with red meats, game, and mature cheeses.
