Wine Description:
La Collina dei Ciliegi Amarone della Valpolicella 2020 is a prestigious red wine from the Veneto region of Italy, showcasing the remarkable quality of the Amarone style. Crafted from a blend of Corvina (55%), Corvinone (40%), and Rondinella (5%), this wine exhibits a perfect balance of power and elegance.
The 2020 vintage reveals an aromatic profile that is rich and complex, with sumptuous notes of Morello cherry, complemented by hints of spice and subtle leathery nuances. The full-bodied structure is backed by well-integrated tannins that provide a round, enveloping mouthfeel, leading to a long and balanced finish that lingers gracefully.
With an alcohol content of 15%, this Amarone is bold and expressive, making it an ideal wine for those who appreciate depth and complexity in their red wines. Its residual sugar level of 5.5 g/L offers just a touch of sweetness, enhancing the overall harmony of flavors. The wine is vegan-friendly and is produced using organic methods, though it is currently in conversion to full organic certification.

| Winery | The estate vineyards are the highest in the entire Valpantena; at this elevation, the vines are cooled by air currents in summer. Extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations take place, and as a result, the grape ripening is delayed by up to a month compared to the valley floor. This long, slow ripening process encourages the development of complex aromas. The Valpantena is a valley of pre-Alpine alluvial origin featuring calcareous-clayey soils which impart distinctive minerality. A holistic approach to vineyard management is adopted, prioritising organic practices and manual cultivation. The vineyards are surrounded by forests and meadows, creating a rich biodiversity crucial for regenerative agricultural methods focusing on restoring soil health and promoting a balanced ecosystem. By encouraging natural processes, La Collina dei Ciliegi supports sustainable and environmentally friendly wine production that respects the land and its resources. |
