Brigaldara Cavolo Amarone della Valpolicella 2016 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 92/100

From the Veneto wine region, Brigaldara Cavolo 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella is a deep, dark and broody 21% Corvinone, 59% Corvina, 17% Rondinella red wine blend. Smoky, sultry and so smooth on the palate with rich dark cherry, red berry, dark chocolate, vanilla and dark spices balanced with brilliant acidity on the palate. Once harvested, grapes are placed in crates to dry in the drying loft. During fermentation, the wine is in constant contact with the grape skins and is pumped over twice daily with a delestage half way through fermentation for colour extraction. The wine was matured two years in small wooden barrels with an additional two years in large wooden vats.

Amarone della Valpolicella food pairings: veal roast, slow-cooked brisket of beef, rabbit fricassee, rich meaty lasagne.
