Enticing aromas of new leather, underbrush, ripe black-skinned fruit and a whiff of eucalyptus emerge on this bold wine. The opulent, chewy palate delivers savoury layers blackberry jam, spiced plum, liquorice and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins.

About this wine
Pieropan is a family-run winery located in the heart of the Valpolicella region in Italy. Founded in 1890 by Giuseppe Pieropan, the winery has been producing high-quality wines for over a century. The Pieropan family is renowned for their Amarone della Valpolicella, a full-bodied red wine made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. The grapes are dried for several months before being fermented and aged in oak barrels for up to three years. The result is a complex and intense wine with aromas of dark fruit, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a long finish.
