Remo Farina Amarone della Valpolicella - 2022 (750ml)

Drying: Natural drying of the grape bunches, selected and well-spaced in small crates for around 90 days. The drying rooms privilege natural drying conditions with temperature, humidity and weight loss constantly monitored.
Vinification: Bunches are destemmed, berries crushed and left on the skins in cold maceration for 5 days. One month of fermentation begins with inoculation of heated selected yeasts in stainless steel at 28° C with frequent pumping-over for 2-3 weeks. The must is pressed off the skins and transferred to cement vats where spontaneous malolactic fermentation begin.
Aging: 18 months maturation in wood, of which, 70% in large Slavonian oak barrels and 30% in barrique, followed by 6 months in cement vats, and then, refinement in bottle.

70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Molinara and other native varieties

Dark red ruby color, developing garnet hues with age. Ethereal spicy aromas with ripe dark marasca cherry. Robust full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and a pleasantly bitter finish. Excellent paired with game, roasted meats and aged cheeses.

93 points James Suckling

A restrained Amarone with depth, complexity and elegance on the nose. Salted chocolate, black cherries, blackberries, earth and black pepper aromas. Firm on the palate, with ripe, slightly dusty tannins, juicy acidity, flavors of dark chocolate and cherries and a full body. A full-flavored wine. Drink or hold.

92 points Vinous

The 2022 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico entices with a heavily spiced bouquet as cedar box and clove give way to crushed blackberries and nuances of coconut. It is silken and elegant in feel, with depths of ripe red berry fruits offset by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and citrus. The finish is gently structured and long, with a twang of blood orange that resonates. - By Eric Guido on September 2025
