La Collina dei Ciliegi Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2020

An Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG from Grezzana, in the Valpantena area of Veneto, where the hills have clay and limestone soil. The grapes are picked by hand and dried in the fruttaio for about one hundred days. After fermentation the wine ages for one year in French oak barriques and tonneaux. It is deep ruby in colour, intense and rounded, with a rich and generous bouquet. It suits braised meats, stews and long-aged cheeses. The nose opens with floral nuances, then marasca cherry, red fruit jam, spice and leather. The palate is structured, enveloping and balanced, with a long finish.
