Tasting Note

Deep ruby in colour, this wine has aromas of ripe plums, spice and cocoa, which give way to a solid tannin structure that supports the concentrated, dried-cherry fruit character. It is long and silky on the finish, with a bitter cherry-chocolate twist characteristic of good Amarone.

Product Notes

Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Amarone della Valpolicella is a wine produced in the Valpolicella region of Italy using traditional methods. This full-bodied wine is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are hand-picked and carefully selected. The grapes are dried for several months in special rooms called fruttai, which reduces the water content and increases the concentration of flavors. The result is a rich and complex wine with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, vanilla, and spice. The tannins are firm yet silky, making this a great wine for aging. Enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes like game or stews, this Amarone is a true Italian classic.

About the Winery

Cantina Valpantena

The Cantina Valpantena wine estate was established in 1958 by a group of Veronese winemakers in Italy. Today, the estate has 250 farms that have a total of 750 hectares under the vine. Close to 30 of them are certified as organic. Apart from wines, this estate is also known for its production of oil. The beauty of Valpantena has been captured in the works of ancient Italian poets. The wines produced here are considered very sweet, mainly because of the natural extravaganza present here, in the form of fountains and springs.
