Ca’ Storica Amarone is made in the ‘appassimento’ method (drying of the grapes). Traditionally it is aged in wood then bottle aged for at least 6 months prior to release. Enjoyed for centuries by royalty and noblemen, when Venice was a republic, it was affectionately known as ‘Vino dei Dogi’ (the Doge’s Wine). Today, it is simply called ‘Amarone’, one of Italy’s most prestigios wines. Bold and full-bodied, soft and well-balanced tannins. This timeless wine has a fully bloomed rose bud oak, dark fruit aromatics and ripe dark cherries. This, while being accompanied with the complexity of earthy, deeper notes with a subtle hint of spices. Pair with risotto, pasta, red meat, game, cheese or on its own. Open 30 minutes before drinking so as to allow it to breathe.
