Let’s break down Amarone -
Grape: Corvina (this one is a blend)
Region: Valpolicella
Sub-Region: Amarone
Italy refers to Amarone as if it is its own varietal (similar to Barolo of Piedmont) because of the incredible quality associated with all wine coming from this small area. Tommasi is the great-great-grandfather of this reputation of high quality.
This is a bottle to have on special occasions or entertaining someone who knows the Big Reds of Italy! Deep notes of cherry and red fruit, fig, chocolate, and rich rich tannins.
I have a bottle of this aging for 32 years now and can’t wait to open it at 40!
