Corte Giara - Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G.

Amarone della Valpolicella D.O.C.G.

Intense and inviting ruby red.

The characteristic hints of cherries and pepper are particularly enjoyable in this wine, followed by subtle nuances of officinal herbs.

Dry and well-balanced. The traditional acidic note combines well with the softness of the fruit to form a satisfying contrast and produce a supple, feisty wine.
