2004 Amarone della Valpolicella DOC Falasco

Tasting Notes
The deep ruby red colour hints at its perfume, which is an exceptional concentration of wild fruits and hints of cocoa. At the first sip, this wine unfolds its full flavour in the mouth, strong, rich and vigorous, yet surprising in its balance, maturity and refinement.

Matching
This wine is traditionally drunk with game, grilled meats, stews and well matured cheeses. Serve at 18°-20°C and open the bottle an hour before drinking.

Winemaking Notes
The grapes are dried naturally in airy lofts, for at least 4 months, with a loss in weight of around 40%. Destemming and crushing of grapes precedes the fermentation which is controlled between 18°-22°C. Maceration lasts for 20 days and the wine is matured in wood, for at least 18 months, before fining in bottle.
