Description
Amarone, the classic wine made from dried grapes from the Valpolicella region, is another fairly new and exciting venture for the Pieropan family. It stems from a desire to test their skills with the Valpolicella area which, although a good neighbour of Soave, is very different and completely unique. It also stems from a desire to make a top red wine that is both rich and structured, yet elegant and fine and of course in line with the entire Pieropan range.
This wine is made from the grape varieties Corvina (60%), Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina (30%) and old traditional Valpolicella varieties (5%) which come from vineyards facing south, with chalky clay soils, located at an altitude of 350-500m above sea level. The grapes are hand-picked in September and then dried naturally. The grapes are then pressed and destemmed. The must is fermented for about 30 days at 23-24°C, during which time it is pumped over repeatedly. Finally, the wine is aged in 500-litre barrels for 36 months, followed by 1 year in the bottle before being released onto the market.
This characterful wine shines in the glass with its beautiful intense ruby red colour. On the nose, the wine has an intoxicating perfume of black cherries, blackberries and plums. On the palate, it is complex and rounded, with a powerful structure that supports the fruit and a beautiful freshness on the finish. A wine with a lot of character with the potential to age well. This wine is an excellent match with game dishes, grilled or stewed meats and powerful and mature cheeses. Also delicious to serve at the end of a nice dinner. Serve at 16-18°C.

The Italian winery Pieropan is located in Soave, near Verona in the famous wine region of Veneto.
Leonildo Pieropan is considered the godfather of Soave. The wines are made from the grapes garganega and trebbiano from the hills around the city of Soave. The special cuvée La Rocca, made from late-picked grapes, is brought up on French oak and wins many international prizes. Andrea and Dario continue the work of their father and, in addition to the famous Soave, also make red wines of exceptional quality. After studying regional grape varieties, terroir and microclimate, the company bought vineyards and real estate in Cellore d'Ilasi (Valpolicella and Amarone) in 1999. A beautiful Valpolicella, Ruberpan and a complex and rich Amarone are now made from corvina, corvinone, rondinella and croatina veronese. The old 15th century monastery on the domain, Villa Cipolla, is currently being restored and converted into a luxury agriturismo.
