Bartolomeo Lorenzi Amarone (magnum) 2016
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Amarone della Valpolicella is “one of the most unique and noble red wines in the world,” writes The Wine Advocate. As adoring fans already know, Amarone is also Italy’s richest red. The secret behind its full-bodied, complex flavors is the art of air-drying grapes (the Italians call it appassimento). And this magnum, 1.5-liter bottle comes from a very important estate ...
Cantina Valpolicella Negrar lies in the heart of northern Italy’s Veneto region. Back in 1933, they were the first winery to bottle and label a wine called ‘Amarone.’ And today, they have an excellent reputation for producing world-class wines.
Their head winemaker, Daniele Accordini, let our local expert in on a little secret during a recent visit. The estate was just about to bottle a new wine, from their pristine vineyards in the Marano Valley. Thanks to the glorious 2016 vintage, Daniele said the quality was phenomenal – and the price was the best they’ve ever offered us. After tasting it, our expert agreed and secured every last case for you. He even convinced them to bottle some of the wine in 1.5-liter magnums (equal to two regular bottles in one).
Daniele and team hand harvested the grapes, then dried them for 90 days under perfect conditions – concentrating the luscious fruit flavors. The wine then rested for 24 months in barrel and matured for six months in bottle before release. Daniele was so thrilled with the final wine, he named it after Bartolomeo Lorenzi, an important historical figure whose “4 Cantos” poem described the work of local farmers over the four seasons and helped popularize Valpolicella’s wines.
While you can uncork this fine Amarone upon arrival, it will also cellar well for the next decade. Whenever you plan to enjoy it, you’ll experience intense cherry, plum, dried flower, and sweet spice characters. Balanced and full-bodied, it makes an indulgent aperitif or an equally impressive partner to filet, meaty pastas, and more.
An incredible offering from the original Amarone producer. Hurry for your share of this luxurious exclusive – very few magnums released.
