Albino Armani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG Cuslanus 2018

An Amarone from Marano in Valpolicella, named after a deity worshipped by the Arusnati. The grapes rest in the estate's fruttai until they reach the right degree of drying, then undergo a slow 90-day fermentation, the first 30 days on the skins. Ageing takes place in oak tonneaux for at least 36 months. It is deep ruby red, with intense aromas of ripe fruit, especially plum and sour cherry with a touch of sweetness. The palate is soft and powerful, with sweet tannins and notable freshness. It pairs with braised meats, stews and rich pasta and bean dishes.
