Amarone della Valpolicella Classico D.O.C. "Rabieto"

Azienda Agricola SALGARI F.LLI | Red Wines | Italy | 899.00 CZK

The Amarone "Rabieto" is obtained from Corvina, Rondinella and Negrara grapes yields in the historical Valpolicella. The grapes are carefully selected during October harvesting and then laid out and dried in the winter fresh air. This drying process, called "appassimento", goes on until the following month of January, when the grapes are softly pressed. The fermentation process is slowed by the cold winter temperature and lasts almost 40 days. Malolactic fermentation is performed in tonneaux and oak barrels so that colour and fruity notes become well-defined. The wine has an intense bouquet with a flourish of notes, including light fig, cocoa and vanilla. It has a warm taste and soft tannins, with a very pleasant finale of cherries in spirits.

Perfect in combination with savoury dishes like roasted, barbequed or braised meat or with seasoned cheese. In order to fully appreciate its aroma, it should be served in balloon glasses.
