Crafted in Italy’s renowned Veneto region, this 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella is a masterpiece of patience and precision. With a 92-point rating from both James Suckling and Vinous Wine Journal, this full-bodied red wine exemplifies the rich heritage of Valpolicella blends.

A Symphony of Flavors
Bursting with dark berries, chocolate spice, and hints of charred oak bark, this wine captivates the senses with its velvety texture and polished finish. Notes of wild herbs and dried flowers intertwine with subtle mineral undertones, while vibrant acidity balances its ultra-ripe fruit character. Perfectly aged in oak barrels for over two years, it offers refined tannins that invite savoring now or cellaring for future enjoyment.

Crafted with Care
Every cluster is meticulously hand-selected from Vigneti di Ettore’s premium vineyards before undergoing traditional appassimento aging—drying grapes to concentrate flavors before fermentation. This labor-intensive process yields a deep ruby-red wine with intense complexity and elegance that distinguishes it from everyday reds.

Elevate Your Wine Experience
Whether paired with hearty dishes like braised beef or enjoyed as a sophisticated digestif after dinner, this Amarone delivers unforgettable depth and nuance. Its harmonious blend of power and finesse makes it ideal for special occasions or intimate gatherings—just as Giampaolo and Gabriele intended when they poured their passion into every bottle.

Sip slowly and let this award-winning Italian classic transport you to the heart of Valpolicella’s rolling hills—where tradition meets timeless sophistication in every glass.
