Monte Faustino di Fornaser Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva docg 2016 0,75l

Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva from Monte Faustino represents the estate’s most long-lived expression. Extended ageing adds extra depth and complexity. The bouquet is rich and layered, with dried cherry, plum, dark berries and herbs, supported by notes of tobacco, cocoa, coffee and fine oak. On the palate the wine is extremely concentrated, warm and firmly structured, with powerful yet ripe tannins. Lively acidity balances the opulence and leads into a very long, spicy and balsamic finish. This is a serious Riserva Amarone for special occasions, pairing beautifully with roasted game, slow-cooked meats and aged cheeses.

Four years in large oak casks and barriques give this Riserva impressive density, spice and mature oak notes.

Monte Faustino di Fornaser

High above the Adige valley in Veneto, the terraced slopes of Monte Faustino di Fornaser rise in San Pietro in Cariano—stone walls and vines shaped side by side over generations. The family’s first vineyard still sets the tone: small, steep, and worked by hand where machines don’t belong....
