Tasting Notes Amarone is bold in flavor, with a rich and silky mid-palate. Has notes of candied plums, cherries, tobacco, and roasted coffee followed by a long lingering chocolatey finish. Wine Characteristics This deep ruby-red wine comes from Veneto, consisted by Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. Aged for a minimum of four years in oak casks. Food Pairing Risotto, pasta, red meats, game and rich cheese, or on its own. For best results, the bottle can be opened 30 minutes before drinking, served at 68 °F (22 °C). REVIEWS
