Conati - Amarone Classico della Valpolicella
Amarone is one of the oldest Italian wines.
It is a wine rich in alcohol, which cannot be compared to any other in the world, even in terms of longevity.
Ruby red in colour, with an intense aroma and velvetiness on the palate, it goes well with red meats and aged cheeses. Served outside of the meal, it is an extraordinary wine of meditation.
