Bonazzi - Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Amarone is one of the oldest Italian wines.
In the fourth century AD, Cassiodorus, king of the Goths, described a wine called Acinatico. Probably by chance, the production of a completely dry Recioto gave birth to this wine.
After obtaining the DOC in 1968, Amarone represents a small part of Valpolicella's production. Almost nothing has changed since the Cassiodorus time and the production method has remained artisanal.
Amarone is a wine rich in alcohol, glycerin and resveratrol, a wine that cannot be compared to any other in the world, even in terms of longevity.
Garnet red in color, with an intense aroma and dry flavor, it goes well with game dishes, grilled meats and aged cheeses. Served outside of the meal, it is an extraordinary wine of meditation.
