Vaio Amarone Classico

The Valpolicella region's meticulous *appassimento* drying process, where grapes are partially dried before fermentation, imbues Vaio Amarone Classico with its signature intensity. This concentrated method yields a wine of remarkable depth and power, showcasing bold notes of dark cherry and fig. It's a profoundly satisfying red, a testament to traditional winemaking, perfect for rich, hearty meals or contemplative sipping.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Full-bodied with ripe dark fruit flavours, interwoven with notes of tobacco, leather, and a subtle balsamic sweetness.
• Finish: Long and lingering, with smooth, velvety tannins and a warming, complex finish.

Perfect Food Pairings
