Azienda Vinicola Prà, Amarone della Valpolicella Morandina 2018

A refined Amarone from Azienda Vinicola Prà, the Morandina 2018 combines the richness and concentration typical of Valpolicella with an elegant, finely balanced style. Its powerful yet supple character is echoed by the horse on the label, while the careful appassimento process and extended oak ageing add depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a luminous ruby-red colour. On the nose, it reveals an intricate bouquet of ripe cherries and plums, complemented by notes of bitter cocoa, liquorice and subtle spice. The palate is generous and flavourful, with a smooth texture, well-integrated tannins and a refreshing streak of acidity that maintains balance despite the wine’s considerable power. A structured Amarone with excellent ageing potential, it can be enjoyed now after some aeration or cellared for several more years, when its fruit, spice and savoury nuances should become even more harmonious.

Production
The grapes are carefully selected before being dried for around two months on raised drying platforms, concentrating their flavours and sugars in the traditional Amarone style. After destemming and pressing, the must is vinified using the delestage technique, followed by 15 days of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vertical stainless-steel tanks. The wine then matures for two years in tonneaux and barriques, followed by a final year of blending and refinement in 20-hectolitre Allier oak casks, before spending a further year in bottle. The blend is based on traditional Valpolicella varieties, led by Corvina and supported by complementary local grapes.

Food & Serving
Serve this Amarone at approximately 18–20°C, allowing it to open in the glass. It is an excellent match for richly prepared red meats, especially dishes seasoned with spices or aromatic herbs, as well as game and slow-cooked braises. Its depth also makes it a natural partner for mature cheeses, particularly Parmigiano Reggiano. Decanting for around 30–60 minutes is recommended, especially when enjoying the wine in its youth.
