Campagnola Amarone della Valpolicella 2016 - 1.5 Litre Bottle

Product description

This rich, dry red wine is carefully made in the renowed Valpolicella Classico area. Selected grapes are dry until the January following the harvest, when they are pressed. Deep garnet in color, with a rich cherried fruit bouquet and gull bodied, dry and powerful palate.

Amarone is the ideal accompaniment to all red meats and old cheese. With increasing age this fine wine may throw a natural deposit.

94 Points - James Suckling

Fresh, tarry nose with smoked meat, iron, raisins, dried strawberry, chili chocolate and sweet dark spices. Juicy and full-bodied palate, with outstanding fluidity on the mid-palate, leading to a mineral and zesty finish. Nicely poised for an Amarone. From organically grown grapes.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

Light, taut tannins and fresh acidity provide fine definition for the well-knit flavors of ripe cherry, spice and graphite, pomegranate and rose hip. Elegant and medium-bodied. 

90 Points- Decanter

Rooted in the Marano Valley, the Campagnola family sources grapes from over 50 neighbouring growers. The 2016 vintage offers both dried and fresh fruit tending towards forest berries. Accents of winter mint and sage animate the nose and add dimension to the palate. Generous, round fruit is hemmed in by soft tannins, though these become a bit dry and dusty on the finish. Ageing is in a combination of large casks and French oak barriques.
