Product description

Casalforte Amarone della Valpolicella 2020 is a powerful and luxurious red wine crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are carefully dried before fermentation to concentrate flavour and richness. This classic technique gives Amarone its signature depth, intensity and smooth, warming character.

The 2020 vintage shows remarkable balance, combining ripe fruit concentration with elegance and freshness. Rich, velvety and complex, this is a wine made for special occasions and slow enjoyment.

Aroma

Intense and expressive aromas of dried cherry, fig and blackcurrant, layered with notes of dark chocolate, spice, tobacco and sweet vanilla.

Palate

Full-bodied, rich and beautifully smooth. Flavours of dried dark fruit, black cherry, raisin and plum are complemented by cocoa, liquorice, cinnamon and subtle oak.
The tannins are soft and polished, while the natural acidity keeps the wine balanced.
The finish is long, warming and deeply satisfying.

A classic Amarone with power, depth and finesse.
