Territory and wine style
This wine originates in the Valpolicella Classica, a historic area of Verona always linked to the production of great dried red wines. The Campolongo di Torbe vineyard is a place of great tradition, and the name recalls a parcel recognized for centuries for its vocation. The identity of Amarone is fully expressed here through Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, naturally dried in fruit drying rooms during winter, according to the method that gives concentration, softness, and complexity. The 2012 vintage presents itself as an ideal choice for those who desire a wine already mature in character, but with still ample evolutionary potential.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red, a sign of richness and depth. On the nose, it emerges with intensity and complexity, offering sensations of cooked fruit, cinnamon, cherries, and ripe sour cherries, with hints of plum and a typical touch of bitter almond. The palate is full, warm, and round, supported by great substance and an enveloping taste structure. The balance between structure, softness, and freshness makes the wine harmonious and satisfying, with a long and persistent finish that invites a thoughtful tasting.
