Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOC

Tommasi's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2020 exemplifies the appassimento tradition of northeastern Italy. Corvina and Pecorino grapes are dried before fermentation, concentrating sugars and flavors into a wine of considerable depth and power. The palate opens with ripe black cherry and dried fruit, supported by almond and cocoa notes from careful oak aging. Medium-high tannins and balanced acidity provide structure; tertiary leather and earth notes emerge with air, suggesting complexity that will develop further in bottle. A wine suited to serious food pairing and contemplative enjoyment.
