Accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in a distinctive black frosted bottle.

Production

Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes cultivated in Montresor's vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico zone (north-west of Verona). The grapes are hand harvested at the end of October. The late harvested grapes are dried out for four months (until February of the following year) and then crushed. The must is fermented in stainless steel for four months. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks and small French barrique for two years. 

Tasting Note

Hints of mocha on the nose with ripe, sweet plummy fruit. Black cherry on the palate with a touch of damson and notes of dark chocolate. Rich and warming, well-balanced, with supple tannins and appealing freshness on the finish.

Food Match 

Excellent with red meats, game or hard cheeses, especially Parmesan.

I came across Montresor Amarone at the WinePoole 2023 Christmas tasting and loved it. I've just stocked up with some more as it is now my favourite wine in that price range. Simply delicious.
