Casa Lupo Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG 2018 16% Vol. 0,75l limited stock

Description

The Casa Lupo Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG 2018 16 % vol. 0.75 l is a powerful, multi-layered red wine from Veneto that reflects the fine art of Amarone production to perfection. As a Riserva, this Amarone comes from a particularly good vintage and has matured significantly longer than a classic Amarone, which gives it additional depth, elegance and longevity. It bears the protected designation of origin DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) – the highest Italian seal of quality – and thus stands for proven excellence.

Only hand-picked grapes from the traditional Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties are used for this top wine. After harvesting, the grapes are gently dried for several months (appassimento method), which causes them to lose moisture and concentrate their aromas. Fermentation is followed by a long ageing period in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its velvety texture, complex aromas and remarkable structure. The alcohol content of 16% vol. is typical of Amarone and an expression of its density and strength.
