This Amarone Riserva comes from Pieropan's Vigna Garzon on the chalky slopes of Monte Garzon, made by the traditional appassimento method of partly drying the grapes before fermentation.

Deep ruby, it shows black cherry, plum and blackberry jam, with dark chocolate, leather, coffee and a peppery, balsamic lift.

Powerful yet elegant, with concentrated dried fruit, firm polished tannins and good freshness, it finishes long with liquorice, tobacco and sweet spice.

Serve with braised beef cheeks, roast venison or aged Parmigiano.

Tasting notes
▾

Intense, deep ruby red with garnet reflections. Extraordinarily complex nose of black cherry, plum, and blackberry jam with layers of dark chocolate, leather, and toasted coffee. Rich notes of black pepper, cinnamon, juniper berries, and cloves emerge with a refreshing balsamic end. The palate is powerful and full-bodied yet remarkably elegant, with concentrated dried fruit flavours supported by firm, polished tannins and a lovely freshness. Remarkably long finish with notes of liquorice, tobacco, and sweet spice.
