Amarone della Valpolicella

About this wine

Roccolo Grassi is a highly acclaimed, modern-leaning estate in the Veneto, renowned for producing incredibly dense, concentrated expressions of Amarone. This very full-bodied Italian red blends Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, and Corvinone. Shaped by the traditional appassimento method of drying grapes, it boasts high acidity and a massive 16.5% ABV. The resulting wine is a powerful, hedonistic masterpiece of dark fruit and spice, making it a dramatic pairing for beef, lamb, wild game meat, or pungent blue cheeses.
