A characterful single‑vineyard Amarone from Valpolicella Classica that marries depth and classic dried‑fruit complexity with freshness—excellent with rich, slow‑cooked dishes.

About the wine

In contrast to other Amarones, this underwent a distinctive aging process in various types of wood: oak, mulberry, chestnut, and cherry. It had been aged for a minimum of 12 months, followed by an additional 6 months of fining in the bottle.

About Antolini

Pier Paolo Antolini and his brother Stefano took over their family vineyard in the early 90s on the hills Marano, San Pietro in Cariano and Negrar in Valpolicella. The 'Marogne', terraced vineyards cover some 7 hectares and are interspersed with olive and cherry trees. You find these scents immediately in the wines when you uncork a bottle! Their wines are in some ways modern being very bright and full of delicious fruity corvina aromas. However, natural farming and wild yeasts give these wines a genuine sense of identity. Although they aim for body and fullness of flavour. The brothers use very little new oak and the wines are very fresh.
