Rich Amarone with lots of finesse and acidity – delicious now but will also age beautifully
This Rubinelli Amarone comes from a small family winery, located in San Pietro in Cariano in the Classico area. The Rubinelli family has been producing wines on this estate for a hundred years, and this wine is an excellent example of their long-standing winemaking tradition. Nicola Scienza, Rubinelli’s winemaker, crafts this wine to have a lot of finesse and elegance. It has plenty of acidity to balance out the powerful flavours of half-dried Corvina and Corvinone.
This wine is presented in an exclusive, sustainably sourced wooden gift box. Each box is certified by The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – an international non-profit organisation that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. The surfaces are coated with a clear matt varnish to protect and highlight the natural character of the wood. It’s stamped with the Independent Wine insignia, in contrasting red, and closes with a metal latch.
The price includes the wine and the gift box.
Tasting notes
Enchanting deep red garnet colour. Expressive, concentrated aromas of cranberry and raspberry, supported by notes of biscuit as well as delicate dry fig, tobacco and leather. Being a classic Amarone, this wine is dry, with refined tannins, a high level of alcohol and a full body. It benefits from a medium level of natural acidity, and captivates the palate with pronounced flavours of strawberry, raspberry, chocolate, leather and tobacco. Long, elegant finish.
Ageing potential:
10 years
