The wine
In the hills above Mezzane, Roccolo Grassi craft Amarone with rare restraint, drying Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella for months before a long, patient fermentation. The 2015 is a wine of weight without heaviness, opulence held in check by Valpolicella's nervous freshness.
Deep garnet, almost opaque at the core. Aromas unfold in layers: dried cherry, fig, cocoa, sweet tobacco, and a balsamic lift of dried herbs. The palate is dense and velvety, plush with macerated dark fruit, framed by ripe tannin and a savoury, bittersweet edge. The finish runs long, warming, and grand.
Why we chose it
“Raisined fruit and dark spice, vast yet poised. Velvet over iron.”
