Introduction:
Aldegheri Santambrogio Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a prestigious red wine born from the hills of the Valpolicella Classico DOC region in northern Italy. Made using the traditional appassimento method, this Amarone is crafted with hand-selected grapes that are dried and slowly fermented to produce a wine of exceptional richness, depth, and character. Aged in both large oak casks and French barriques, it offers a refined and powerful expression of this historic winemaking region.
Tasting Notes:
Intense aromas of ripe cherries, dried fruits, and a touch of licorice open the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with complex layers of dark fruit, spice, and oak, leading to a long and elegant finish.
Winemaker’s Notes:
Made from Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, and other native varietals grown on stony, ancient hillsides in Valpolicella, this wine undergoes careful air-drying, gentle pressing, and extended aging—two years in large oak casks, one year in new French barriques, and several more months in bottle—to achieve its distinguished profile.
Pairing Suggestions:
Perfect for pairing with game dishes in rich sauces, mature cheeses, and spicy foods. This Amarone’s bold structure and complex flavours make it a standout choice for hearty and flavourful cuisine.
