-38%This is a big, warm, velvety red for the night that actually matters. Think dark cherry, dried fruit and spice, with a finish that just keeps going long after the glass is down. Pour it slow, eat something rich with it, and let it run the evening. One bottle, good company, no rush. We'll get it to you fast, whatever the hour.
The aroma pulls you in first: black cherry, dried strawberry, a hint of dark chocolate and warm spice, with a little smoky-balsamic edge underneath. On the palate it's full and plush, properly dry despite all that ripe fruit, with soft grippy tannins and just enough acidity to keep it lively. The texture is the magic part, silky and rounded, and the finish lingers for ages. Powerful, but never heavy-handed.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Tommasi, a family winery in Pedemonte, right in the Valpolicella Classico hills near Verona in northern Italy. The Tommasis have been at it since 1902, and they're now run by the great-grandchildren of the founder. The clever bit is the appassimento method: the grapes are picked, then laid out to dry for about three months before they're ever pressed, which concentrates everything into that rich, intense flavour. After fermenting, it spends around three years resting in big Slavonian oak casks. Amarone is the wine that put this family on the map, and you can taste why.
