La Giaretta Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018 Docg

La Giaretta Amarone Classico della Valpolicella Docg 2018 Song: Con te partirò by Andrea Bocelli. Located in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the birthplace of the worldwide famous Amarone, La Giareia is a bou5que winery, led by Francesco Vaona, that produces high quality wines that shine for their authen5city and elegance. Amarone (the ‘big biier’ in Vene5an dialect) is now one of the most popular wines in the world. However not many people know that the story of this wine originates from a miscalculation during the fermentation of the original dessert wine of the area, Recioto. Legend has it that in 1936, while tasting some barrels of Recioto left for too long in the cellar, Mr Adelino Lucchese, winemaker of the local cooperative cellar, called this wine 'Amarone' and found out about the quali5es of this great dry version of Recioto. Amarone is obtained by an accurate selection of grapes that are leV to dry in straw mats for 120 days in the spectacular fruit barn of the winery. Here is where the magic happens, when the grapes reach an incredible concentration of sugar and aromatic compounds, giving an incredible character to this fantastic wine. The bouquet is an explosion of red fruits, fig, blackberries, chocolate, black pepper and tea for a great intensity but a beautiful balance of all the compounds. Palate is broad, with a predominant warmth due to the alcohol but beau5fully balanced by a nice freshness and a robust tannin that is perfectly integrated: a perfect example of Old school Amarone, a wine that is a perfect balance of warmth and class, just like the voice of Italian Tenor Andrea Bocelli. 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella. 1 bt in Shipment.
