Palate: clay-driven sapidity, limestone freshness

Grown at 550 metres on fossil marl: the clay component gives force and sapidity, the limestone gives elegance and freshness, in a ruby-red wine of considerable structure.

What it pairs with

  • Braised beef with bay
    The altitude-driven acidity keeps a long braise from feeling heavy.
  • Wild boar
    Game is the classic partner for an Amarone with this much structure.
  • Aged Monte Veronese d'allevo
    Salt carries the sapidity the estate credits to the clay.
