Villalta 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC 750ml

ABOUT

The winery, based in Pedemonte, Verona, is a family run business, founded 150 years ago, now reaching fifth generation. Wines are made exclusively with own produced grapes. All stages of production are carefully supervised, paying great attention to every single detail.

VINEYARD

Primarily from a blend of the Veneto’s three traditional grape varieties: Corvina (60%), which provides the intense bouquet; Rondinella (30%), which adds tannin and structure; Molinara (5%) which gives colour and flavour; plus a further 5% of other local grape varieties. Vineyard: The Single Vineyard “I Comunali”, 9.46 hectares, is south-facing, on a steep sloped limestone hillside in the Fumane valley. The vineyard benefits from a warm microclimate. The vines are trained on pergola trellises.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE

Deep ruby red colour with an intense, full and rich bouquet. Rounded on the palate with classic black cherry flavours and a long, complex finish. Ideal with roasts, game and cheese, but also a great wine to sip slowly in company.
