Fattori Amarone DOCG 2016
About the wine
Meet the seriously top-end Amarone ranked as one of the best of its vintage
- The attention to detail lavished on every last milliliter of Antonio's Amarone makes for an experience that a wine enthusiast might spend years chasing. We can barely bang the drum loud enough to do this luxurious bottle justice... however, the fact that it's been included in a list of just eleven of the most high-flying Amarone's around by Forbes, who rated it 'Outstanding' to boot, should just about do it.
- 'I use the ancient Italian tradition of gently sun drying grapes for 4-5 months to make the flavours even more concentrated and intense. The wine is then matured in oak barrels for 30-36 months to give it the refined velvety complexity that Amarone is famous for. The result is a rich, elegant, grown-up wine to savour with someone special.'
- 'The best reward for me is the recognition of my efforts and quality by the people enjoying my wines. So here's to you Angels! I can't wait to hear what you think.'
