Vinification Details

  • These grapes were naturally dried for 3-4 months in a drying facility. This was followed by a gentle pressing and destemming and fermentation lasted up to 14 days with regular periodic pump overs. The wine was aged in oak for 12 months.

History

  • Run by Luca Degani since 1995, the Cantina di Valpantena is now one of Italy's best co-operatives, with 700 hectares of vineyard producing excellent quality fruit.

Regional Information

  • The 2016 harvest was quite similar to 2015, with a cold winter and abundant rainfall. The beginning of the growing season was characterised by the alternation of dry and rainy periods, which allowed for perfect vine development. The following hot and dry summer led to an abundant harvest with healthy grapes.

Very nice indeed

5 stars

A port nose, christmas fruits and lingering spicy finish. A lovely drop. Best with meatballs or soft smelly cheeses

Full bodied and very smooth. Yum.

5 stars

Fool bodied, yet smooth. It is a very good wine indeed. With chocolaty aftertaste.

A surprise 73rd birthday gift from my eldest son,

5 stars

A surprise 73rd birthday gift from my eldest son, and I was expecting ‘supermarket plonk’. What a surprise! This bottle was full-bodied and smooth, with a delicious chocolate and spicy finish. What a pity I had no one to share it with!

I hope it was a bad bottle

2 stars

Deeply disappointing, possibly an off bottle. Nothing to greet you at the start, a hint of something in the middle and to finish a long peppery / acidic taste which reminded me of a tempranillo I had a couple of years ago. I was expecting it to begin with a quick sweet hint of port/sherry, then a long smooth full bodied flavour which just went on forever, then kept going. My previous experience with an Amarone. Will not be taking a chance on this one again.

Wonderful, second to none

5 stars

Wonderful wine, absolutely fantastic. By far and beyond my expectations let alone for what it costs. Tesco clearly have some expert wine conossieurs working for them who have selected this plentiful bottle of bliss

Deep and moody

5 stars

Deep and moody, it ticks all the boxes- This Amarone knocks the socks off anything else in this price range, and probably around £10 under priced (but don't tell everyone). Well done!!
