Amarone della Valpolicella - 2015
Ca' del Monte is situated in the heart of Valpolicella, nestled on the hills above the town of Negrar. The Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico from this esteemed winery is akin to an ethereal nocturnal presence. Toasted notes and vanilla aromas stand out amidst the cooked fruit, overripe plums, clove, and baking spice notes. The palate is dominated by concentrated flavors of prune, raisin, chocolate, lush fruit, and spicy chocolate. In summary, this wine boasts a robust body, refreshing acidity, velvety tannins, and a luscious, lingering finish.
This Amarone is best enjoyed alongside hearty, robust fare. It pairs exceptionally well with a beef tenderloin drizzled in truffle butter or a stufato (a meat and vegetable stew). For a more complex pairing, consider substituting seasoned cheeses.
