'Brolo del Figaretto' Amarone della Valpolicella 2020

750ml

Sale price$55.00

This Amarone della Valpolicella showcases the traditional appassimento method, with Corvina-led fruit from hillside vineyards in Valpantena dried for 120 days to achieve 35% weight loss before fermentation. The result is a profound expression: deep ruby in the glass, revealing concentrated aromas of ripe red fruit layered with leather and warm spice. On the palate, it's full-bodied yet remarkably elegant, with round, soft tannins and exceptional length. Twenty-four months in French oak barrels have integrated beautifully, adding structure without overwhelming the fruit. At 16% alcohol, it maintains balance and grace. Pair with rich game like venison or aged cheese; serve slightly cool at 16-18°C to best appreciate its complexity.

Corte Figaretto

Nestled in the heart of Valpolicella's Valpantena valley, Corte Figaretto is a family-run estate dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that honor centuries-old Venetian winemaking traditions. Their vineyards stretch across sun-drenched hillsides near Poiano and Quinto, where calcareous clay soils and southern exposure create ideal conditions for indigenous varieties like Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone. What sets Corte Figaretto apart is their meticulous approach to appassimento—the traditional method of drying grapes to concentrate flavors—combined with modern temperature-controlled fermentation and aging in French oak. The result is a portfolio of wines that balance power with elegance, expressing the unique terroir of Valpantena while showcasing the depth and complexity that have made Amarone and Valpolicella renowned worldwide. Each bottle reflects the estate's commitment to quality over quantity, with hand-harvested fruit and careful attention at every step from vineyard to cellar.
