DESCRIPTION

The wine has a ruby red color. The aromas are intense and complex.
On the palate cherries, plums mixed with bitter cocoa and licorice. Flavoursome and smooth structure balanced with tannins and freshness thanks to the altitude of vineyard and the high chalk composition in the marl soil. Power combined with elegance, assuggested by the horse breed T.P.R on the label.

The wine pairs well with well–cooked meats especially if flavoured with spices and aromatic herbs and game. Ideal served with mature cheese and particularly with Parmigiano Reggiano.

AMARONE ACCORDING TO GRAZIANO

“My personal challenge is to give Amarone back its rightful place on the table. A gastronomic wine that combines power and complexity with a clean and smooth texture”.

“Producing food is a gastronomical art.”
To be a source of pleasure, food must be good, but also clean and right: it must be the result of sustainable agriculture, which respects the environment and the dignity of workers. When we buy food we also choose an agricultural model. It is a fundamental question that determines the future of the planet: its survival or its destruction.”

Wendell Berry.
