Torre del Falasco Amarone della Valpolicella 2018

Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Amarone della Valpolicella is a wine produced in the Valpolicella region of Italy using traditional methods. This full-bodied wine is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are hand-picked and carefully selected. The grapes are dried for several months in special rooms called fruttai, which reduces the water content and increases the concentration of flavors. The result is a rich and complex wine with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, vanilla, and spice. The tannins are firm yet silky, making this a great wine for aging. Enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes like game or stews, this Amarone is a true Italian classic.

Winemaker: Matt Thomson and Michele Peroni

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour, this wine has aromas of ripe plums, spice and cocoa, which give way to a solid tannin structure that supports the concentrated, dried-cherry fruit character. It is long and silky on the finish, with a bitter cherry-chocolate twist characteristic of good Amarone.

The Cantina Valpantena wine estate was established in 1958 by a group of Veronese winemakers in Italy. Today, the estate has 250 farms that have a total of 750 hectares under the vine. Close to 30 of them are certified as organic. Apart from wines, this estate is also known for its production of oil. The beauty of Valpantena has been captured in the works of ancient Italian poets. The wines produced here are considered very sweet, mainly because of the natural extravaganza present here, in the form of fountains and springs.

In the Greek dialect, Valpantena means “The Valley of the Gods.” Currently, this wine estate is one of the biggest and most authentic producers of Italian wine in this region. Sustainable and integrated agricultural practices are carried out here with extreme respect to the land where the grapes are grown.

The wines produced by this estate are classified into the following ranges:

• Torre del Falasco Line – This is a range of traditional wines, dedicated to the brigand, Falasco. These wines are made from carefully selected grapes grown in some of the best terroirs.

• Line Alphabet – This range of wines includes aromatic and tasty wines that satisfy the requirements of wine connoisseurs.
