Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC 2015 - Secondo Marco

Intense dark ruby red. The bouquet reveals fruity aromas reminiscent of blackcurrants followed by an infinite range of suggestions such as candied cherries, black pepper, roasted coffee and dried citrus fruits. On the palate well-blended tannins underlie a dense, juicy, supple and persistent flavour. A velvety finish.

Pairs well with substantial tasty dishes and is the perfect accompaniment for stuffed guinea-fowl.

Refined and powerful, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC, of Secondo Marco, has a character that is never meek, that evokes a land forgotten for too long but is now rightly given its true value. After 120 days of drying in the drying sheds, the grapes from which this wine is made are left to macerate for fifty days on the skins. The wine is then aged for two years in vats and for 18 months in barrels. The process is completed with a rest period of six months in the bottle. Elegant and supple it ranks at the highest level of the wines of this appellation.
