Sell Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2016 [Red Wine] best price

Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2016 grape varietals: 90% Corvina/Corvinone, 5% Oseleta and 5% Rondinella. Dark ruby red colour. A rich, complex and powerful wine characterised by dried red fruit and spicy notes. Intense aromas of cherry, plum and blackberry fruit with hints of tobacco, liquorice and leather spice. There is a drop of violet florals in the bouquet too. On the deep and thick palate, the fruit flavours turn towards dried cherry, raisin, prune and dark berry jam with complements of dark chocolate, liquorice and earthy spice. Its imposing structure, superb balance and refined tannins prelude a velvety and spicy finish with a long persistence. The Allegrini family's south-east facing vineyards are in the Valpolicella Classico hills at 180–280 metres above sea level. The soils are mostly well-draining chalk and clay. After harvesting by hand, the grapes are dried at 'Terre di Fumane', a state of the art drying centre with controlled temperature and humidity. During the 3 month drying period, the grapes lost 40–45% of their original weight. Vinification took place in the first 2 weeks of January. The dried grapes then go through de-stemming, crushing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 8–22ºC. Maceration lasts 25 days with daily pumping over. The wine ages in 100% new oak barriques (225 litres) for 18 months. After blending, it spent 7 months in 8,700 litre oak casks and another 14 months in bottle.
