Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG Tenute Falezza 16,5% 0,75L

Product detailed description

Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG by Tenute Falezza was created from the desire to experience a journey of growth without technical or time constraints. The grapes for this selected production are chosen from the estate’s best vineyards, resulting in a wine that expresses a refined balance between fruitiness and elegance. It is the pride of the Falezza family.

The blend consists of Corvina 60%, Corvinone 20%, Rondinella 15% and Oseleta 5%. The vineyards grow on clay-limestone soils of alluvial origin at an altitude of 150–300 metres above sea level and are trained with the traditional Pergola Veronese system.

The grapes are harvested by hand in September and naturally dried for 90 days in the drying facility. After de-stemming and soft pressing, fermentation takes place for 30 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for 48 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, followed by 8 months of bottle ageing.

In the glass, it shows a ruby-red colour tending towards garnet. The bouquet is complex and deep, opening with notes of dried grapes and fruit in alcohol, then evolving into spicy aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg. With ageing, the wine also develops elegant notes of leather and tobacco.

On the palate, it is intense, soft and beautifully balanced, with a long, persistent finish. This Amarone Riserva is excellent as a meditation wine and can be enjoyed with a piece of dark chocolate or alongside a cigar.
