Casalforte Amarone Della Valpolicella 2018

Full-bodied? Tick. Fruity? Tick. Concentrated? Tick. If we've said all the right words here, then you know the Casalforte Amarone is going to be right up your alley.

This red wine blend is from the Veneto wine region and screams Italy. Think of cherries, spice, dried fruits, plum and blueberry which gives a vibrant long finish. It is juicy and well-structured.

A bottle of this Amarone is exceptional with all manner of game, tomato-based Italian dishes such as lamb ragu, and would work well with hard cheeses too.

With 96 points from the Huon Hooke of Italy, Luca Maroni, this is a wine that exceeds expectations.
