Ca'Erto Amarone Della Valpolicella 2016

We love everything we’ve ever tasted from the Magnabosco family, and they are some of our most often tapped sources for great wines from the glorious Veneto region in the north of Italy. Amarone della Valpolicella is a tremendously time-consuming wine to make, and so revered for its quality – you might imagine how thrilled we are to have it at 50% OFF!

70% corvina and 30% rondinella – lovingly tended on the vine for months, hand-harvested, dried for 4+ months on special wooden mats, and then (THEN!) turned into wine. The way Amarone is made is simply fascinating – check out this video for more. It’s monstrously time-consuming, with ridiculously small yields...but the final product is so unique, lavishly delish, and downright memorable...there’s really nothing like it! 

Definitely not for the “super light, elegant wine” crowd, but if you like ‘em ripe and affable, generous and lip-smacking, this is IT, and just perfect for ridding your bones of that lingering winter chill. So rich and intoxicating with layers of fig paste, blueberry compote, cedar, molasses, black plum, toasted spices, star anise, clove, and dark cocoa. Utterly mouth-coating and long while retaining impeccable freshness and supreme balance. Great aging potential too. WE LOVE IT! While it lasts!
