Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019

Brigaldara Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019 is a powerful yet traditionally styled expression of one of Italy’s most distinctive wines. Made from carefully selected Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, it follows the classic appassimento method, in which the fruit is dried for around 120 days before fermentation. The result is a rich, structured Amarone that remains closely connected to the historic winemaking traditions of Valpolicella.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-red in appearance, with garnet tones developing with age. The nose is generous and layered, offering aromas of ripe dark berries, dried cherries, plums and raisins, complemented by spice, cocoa and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, balancing rich dried-fruit character with firm tannins and refreshing acidity. Notes of black cherry, prune, baking spice and dark chocolate lead to a long, warming finish. Its structure and concentration give it excellent aging potential, and it should develop further complexity over the next decade or more when properly stored.

Production
The grapes are sourced from Brigaldara’s best-exposed vineyard parcels in the Valpolicella Classico area, where careful selection in the vineyard ensures that only healthy, perfectly ripe bunches are retained. The grapes are dried for approximately 120 days, concentrating their sugars, flavors and aromas before vinification. Fermentation and extraction are managed to draw out the noble components of the skins, after which the wine matures for around three years in large wooden vessels. This traditional approach allows the Amarone to gain depth and structure without overwhelming its aromatic character.

Food & Serving
A natural partner for rich, slow-cooked dishes such as braised beef, wild boar, venison and hearty stews, it also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and mature blue cheese. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended when serving the wine young, both to open its aromas and to soften its substantial structure.
