Ca'Botta Pian di Mezzo 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Riserva (37.5cl)

A dense, concentrated dry red wine from Tenute Ca'Botta, made mainly from Corvina and bottled in a 375 ml bottle. The grapes are air-dried after harvest in the appassimento process, concentrating sugar and aromas. The wine is made from hand-selected grapes, with fifteen days of maceration below 8°C and thirty days of fermentation below 20°C, followed by twenty-four months in oak barrels, twelve months in stainless steel and twelve months after bottling. It is served at 13-18°C with steak, game or strong cheeses. It has a very dark, almost black, deep red colour with slight brick tones. The aroma is rich in chocolate, blackberry and cherry, with spices, green pepper, leather, smoky tones and nuts; the palate is intense and rich, with dark chocolate and blackberry, and the aftertaste brings black cherry and almond.
