Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico RISERVA

With this new type of wine we would like to remember all the teachings of our grandfather Carlo and our father Ernesto. In the best vintages of wine, we keep in the big oak barrels this type of wine that is made using the oldest vineyard of the company.  The grapes don’t come from a specific vineyard. “New” brothers  Boscaini’s  Amarone would like to remember a old style of making wine. Of course, the quality of the grapes and the modern aged techniques give wine greater sugar richness, and this causes more alcohol in the wine. In this wine we use the Valpolicella’s classical types of grapes: Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. A wine that is too robust cannot be expected. This wine’s style remember the old versions of Amarone. It is a wine of higher rank, that discloses armony and pleasure in the glass. It has the classic sour cherry perfume. Velvety, enveloping and harmonious taste.  It goes very well with demanding dishes, like roast meets, game meat and braised beef. It should be served at room temperature, it is better if it stay in a carafe and decanted a few hours earlier.
