The Casa Lupo Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG 2018 16 % Vol. 0.75 l is a powerful, multi-layered red wine from Veneto that reflects the high art of Amarone production to perfection. As a Riserva, this Amarone comes from a particularly good vintage and has matured significantly longer than a classic Amarone, which gives it additional depth, elegance and Langs. It bears the protected designation of origin DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) - the highest Italian seal of quality - and thus stands for certified excellence.

Only hand-picked grapes from the traditional Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties are used for this top-quality wine. After harvesting, the grapes are gently dried for several months (appassimento method), which causes them to lose moisture and concentrate their flavours. Fermentation is followed by a long ageing period in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its velvety texture, complex flavour and remarkable structure. The alcohol content of 16% vol. is typical of Amarone and an expression of its density and strength.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Amarone Riserva has a deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose reveals an intense aroma of dark cherries, dried plums, Black Forest gateau, cocoa and sweet spices such as cinnamon and vanilla, accompanied by balsamic notes and fine wood spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, warm and velvety, with ripe tannins, concentrated fruit and a long, harmonious finish. A powerful red wine with depth, elegance and great ageing potential.

The Casa Lupo Amarone Riserva is a perfect accompaniment to braised beef, game, lamb, mature hard cheese or truffle dishes. It also shows its full class with dark chocolate or as a meditative wine after a meal. Ideal for special occasions, festive menus or as a high-quality gift for red wine lovers.
