2017 Corte Adami Amarone Della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. Magnum Wooden Gift Box

Corte Adami’s 2017 Amarone is a commanding and beautifully composed expression of Valpolicella’s most prestigious red wine. Produced from hand-harvested Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes that are naturally dried for several months (appassimento), this Amarone offers impressive concentration while maintaining remarkable finesse.

Deep garnet in the glass, the nose is rich and enveloping, with notes of dried black cherries, plum compote, dark chocolate, liquorice, and sweet tobacco, lifted by hints of cedar and spice. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, delivering layers of ripe black fruit, roasted coffee bean, and balsamic complexity, all wrapped in silky tannins and a long, warming finish.

Powerful yet refined, the 2017 Corte Adami Amarone is a wine of structure and soul — ideal for contemplative sipping or pairing with bold, flavourful dishes.
