Amarone d. Valpolicella Sant'Urbano DOCG

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico “Sant'Urbano” DOCG from Speri Viticoltori is the undisputed flagship wine of this traditional family winery in Fumane – a majestic red wine made from the finest grapes grown on the steep slopes of Monte Sant'Urbano at an altitude of 280–350 meters. The classic blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes dries for approximately 100 days on bamboo racks before being vinified with a 40% weight loss.

In the glass, it shines a rich garnet red with ruby ​​highlights . The nose is ethereal, deep, and complex with aromas of preserved black cherry, dried plum, mulberry, licorice, and dark chocolate , accompanied by leather, cedar, and subtle roasted notes. On the palate, it is majestic, warm, and full-bodied, with elegant tannins, remarkable freshness, and an endlessly long, dry finish.

Matured for 24 months in tonneaux and a further 18 months in Slavonian oak , at 15.0% ABV, served at 18°C , decanted for at least 2 hours. Aging potential until 2043. James Suckling: 94 points .
