In the Glass
AROMA
Black cherry, dried plum, sweet spice, clove and toasted oak.
PALATE
Full and velvety; concentrated dark fruit, warming spice and structured tannin.
DRINKING WINDOW
Enjoy now or cellar. Can develop additional savoury complexity with careful storage.
The Story
Corte Adami builds its Amarone through the traditional appassimento drying of selected Valpolicella grapes, concentrating fruit without losing the wine's sense of balance.
The Producer
The family estate works across Soave and Valpolicella and has developed its own estate bottlings after generations of grape growing.
Place & Terroir
Estate vines in eastern Valpolicella occupy clay-and-limestone sites; Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella are gently dried before fermentation.
Perfect Pairings
Roast lamb, grilled beef, wild mushrooms or a savoury slow-cooked dish.
Serve around 16–18°C, with air for youthful structured bottles.
Worth Knowing
The producer describes extended drying and two years in French oak, a process quite different from standard Valpolicella.
