2016 Domini del Leone Amarone Della Valpolicella

Stewed red fruit, violet, prune, mocha, and earth — rich, full-bodied, and velvety with eight years of age showing beautifully. Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella dried for months using the ancient appassimento technique before pressing and aging in French oak. Certified organic since 1974 and Demeter-certified biodynamic — grandfather Guido Fidora was among the first organic farmers in all of Italy, decades before anyone cared. Same family behind that Col Fondo Prosecco. Pair with braised short ribs or hard aged cheese.
