NV Corte Figaretto Amarone della Valpolicella

Amarone Graal・Conte Figaretto 2013 from Corte Figaretto embodies the powerful, brooding soul of Italy’s Valpantena hills. Dark ruby in the glass, it delivers a symphony of ripe red fruit, warming spice, and rich complexity born from the traditional appassimento drying of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. This Amarone feels plush yet structured, with layers that unfold slowly, rewarding patience and conversation. It’s crafted for those who want intensity without rough edges — deep, elegant, and endlessly captivating.

Nose: A textured bouquet of dried cherries, plum, and wild berries intertwines with hints of cinnamon, black pepper, and leather that waft from the glass.

Palate: The palate is full-bodied and generous, showing concentrated red and dark fruit framed by warm spice and a whisper of earth, all carried by supple tannins.

Finish: Long and lingering, with persistent fruit, spice echoes, and a complex, velvety thread that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Pair this Amarone with rich braised beef, slow-roasted lamb, or game in intense sauces. Aged Pecorino or Parmigiano and dark chocolate desserts also elevate every sip.
