Ca' La Bionda Vigneti di Ravazzol Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2015

Tasting Notes

The Ravazzol Amarone is a blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella from 50-70 year old vines grown on the hillside vineyard of Ravazzol. Immediately after harvest in September and October, the bunches of grapes are placed on cane drying racks until January or February in order to dry out the grapes, concentrating flavors and helping to delivering the unique aromas and structure of Amarone. After drying, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged in new, large oak barrels for 36 months. The resultant wine is rich and complex with flavors of sour cherries, blackberries and tobacco with fine tannins, suave viscosity and great length. Enjoy with slow cooked stews, char-grilled steaks, or on its own.
