Monte del Frá - Amarone della Valpolicella Scarnocchio, 0.75l

The grapes are picked around mid-October, after they have just started to dry on the vine. This drying process then continues in crates in a special drying area, under controlled conditions of humidity and at natural winter temperatures for 130-140 days, in order to concentrate to the full the aromas and polyphenols in the grapes.

A dry red wine. Deep ruby red with garnet highlights. Floral and ripe fruit notes, such as cherries (both fresh and under spirits), plums, liquorice and leather; spices, such as pepper and cinnamon; hints of undergrowth. Extremely complex, but at the same time well-balanced, velvety and robust, dry, full-bodied, generous and austere.

Originally intended as a wine to sip after dinner, but it also goes well with rich, full-flavoured dishes such as game and aged and very piquant cheeses.

To be served at 16-18°C.

Contains sulphites.
