Tasting Notes

From the estate of Fasoli Gino in the Valpolicella region, the Alteo Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2016 is crafted from hand-selected, appassimento-dried Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. The result is a rich, deep-coloured wine with a mature bouquet of plums, blackberries, spice, leather and tobacco, balanced by freshness and velvety tannins. Matured for around three years in large oak and then bottle-aged, this wine offers both power and elegance with an age-worthy character (20+ years). Ideal for special occasions, premium cellaring or as a signature wine for serious drinkers.
