Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Monte Castelon, 2015

Woodsmoke and menthol aromas lead to a sweet and succulent palate with lots of fruit. Monte Castelon Amarone 2015 is well balanced with red and sour cherries, a juicy acidity and very moreish finish. It was produced from 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella and Molinara all grown at high altitude (400 to 530 metres) on south-facing sites on the slopes of Monte Castelon. Grapes were dried on racks for four months, losing 40% of their weight, then a long slow fermentation was carried out at low temperature. The wine was matured for 30 months in oak casks.
