Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2013
Blue flower, baked plum, exotic spice and pipe tobacco are just some of the aromas you'll find on this bold red. The full-bodied enveloping palate doles out layers of juicy black cherry marinated in spirits, fig, cinnamon, mocha and nutmeg framed in velvety tannins. The palate develops a wonderful depth, character and richness, med dry tannin acid, it's balanced and has a graphite finish with texture to match.

Food Pairing Notes
The robust character of this traditional Amarone makes it especially well-suited for pairing with steaks, stews and ribs. The red fruit intensity and softer tannins allow a pairing with pork, veal, and poultry dishes. All Amarones work well with big flavored cheeses.
