Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva 2010

Intense ruby-red in color with garnet shades. Intense and elegant cherry, ripe fruit and spices aroma, with scents of vanilla, tobacco and licorice. Taste is full and velvety, soft and enveloping. This is a wine for meditation; a leading actor. It is traditionally paired with game and mature cheeses. For a very special sensory experience, try it with bitter chocolate 85%. Serve at 18˚ C (65˚ F). Uncork for at least 4 hours before consuming or leave it for 1 hour and decant back in bottle before serving.

Amarone Riserva “Teste Dure” (hard head) is named with love for father and son winery owners Alfredo and Mariano Buglioni. This wine suits their stubborn personality and determination to craft world class Amarone. Made only in exceptional vintages from the oldest single vineyard block on the estate, this limited Riserva offering is only the third ever produced (2000 and 2007 being the others). Each bottle is hand labeled and marked with a unique collectible number. Elegantly packaged in a three bottle laydown wooden case box package.
