Michele Castellani Cinque Stelle Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2018 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 94/100

Form Ca' Del Pipa, Veneto D.O.C.G. Michele Castellani Cinque Stelle 2018 Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico is dry, medium-plus-bodied and flavoursome with black cherry, black currant, plum, anise and white pepper flavours generous and lingering on the palate with a smoky, flinty mineral and chocolatey finish. Complex and refined, this is a beautifully crafted Amarone with rich tannins and is ultra-balanced. Produced from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara grapes that were left to raisin and dry for up to four months. The concentrated grapes were pressed and control-temperature fermented on their skins for 40 days. The wine was aged for three years in a combination of Slavonian oak (5000 litre cask) and French oak barriques (60%/40%) with one year of bottle ageing prior to its release.

Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico food pairings: rich tomato sauce and pasta, vegetarian lasagna, fricassee rabbit.
