Tasting Notes Arduini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
The nose is bursting with black cherries, raisins and currants, even dried apricots, and as the wine matures, a leathery scent emerges. Limited oak influence: hardly any vanilla but a slight spiciness from the wood. On the palate, an enormous richness with a very round start, a soft creamy but powerful structure, yet also great elegance due to the refined acidity. Enormous finish, where the tannins are already pleasant. Ruby red color.
Wine & Food Pairing
Arduini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico demands robust dishes such as stews, grilled meats, venison, wild boar, hare, leg of lamb, stew, cheese board or Parmesan cheese.
Additional information
For the production of Amarone, only the best and oldest vineyards in Valpolicella are used. The grapes are harvested late in the season to ensure they have an almost overripe state. This results in a lot of sugars and a high concentration in the grapes. This, however, is not enough; after harvesting, the grapes are dried. For at least 4 months, the grapes are dried on racks or hung in special rooms, causing them to lose 40% of their weight.
This creates a highly concentrated juice that can be tasted in the wine. After winemaking, it spends 3 to 6 years in oak barrels and then matures for at least another year in the bottle before being released to the market.
The Arduini family has owned vineyards in Marano di Valpolicella since the 1940s. This beautiful enterprise was then expanded in 1969 with two new vineyards in the Amarone region.
Until 2002, the grapes were mainly sold to large wineries in the region, until a new building was put into use where the wines can be made "state of the art".
More and more, they are therefore releasing their own wine from the more than 7 hectares of vineyard. Father (Luciano) and son (Andrea) can be found in the vineyards and the cellar, mother Silvana handles the administration, and cousin Alex handles sales. The family motto is: 'making wine is not a business, but a way of life!'
