Monte Santoccio Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019 75cl

Tasting Note

Remember your first kiss? The heightened sense of anticipation, waiting to find out what it would be like? Would it be good, would you do it well, would you do it badly? Did you have a mint before? And then remember the feeling once it was over and that you wanted it to happen again? That is what this is like when you try this wine. Your first sip is full of expectation and apprehension, and then once you've tried it once, you want more and more and more!

"Spices, hints of leather, a fanfare of bitter red fruit, discreet heat... a joyous experience and it finishes dry and noble. An Amarone which does everything it should do and more and it costs a quarter of a price of the most famous name in town. 18.5/20. Matthew Jukes"

Producer

Formerly an assistant to the legendary Valpolicella producer Giuseppe Quintarelli, Nicola Ferrari and his wife Laura now make their wines from 4ha of organically farmed vines in Fumane. Production is between 25000 – 30000 bottles per year, so this is a very discreet operation, and the wines are nothing short of sensational.
