Montresor Valpolicella Capital della Crosara Ripasso 2022

A blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from low-yielding vineyards in Verona. Half of the Corvina grapes are left on the vine for longer, to concentrate the sugar and flavour. About 30% of the blend is aged for 12 months in American and French barriques. The nose shows complex aromas, reminiscent of prune, cherry and redcurrant; the palate is supple with a long finish.

The wine has a lovely and intense dark garnet colour. It exudes aromas and flavours of black cherries, chocolate, coffee, and raisins, along with a note of almonds. Despite a formidable structure, the palate is velvety, spicy and elegant, with an extremely long and lingering finish.

Accessible and delicious example of a modern style of Amarone in a distinctive black frosted bottle.

A classic, youthful Valpolicella with approachable ripe cherry fruit and a rounded, gently spicy character from six months ageing in large oak casks.
