Farina Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG

by Farina · Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy

Red • Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara • 15% ABV

Amarone is one of Italy's most distinctive and impressive red wines, and Farina's version showcases why this labor-intensive style commands respect (and higher prices). Made from grapes that are dried for months before pressing (appassimento method), Amarone achieves a concentration and complexity that few other wines can match.

What makes this bottle special is its remarkable balance between power and elegance. While many Amarones can be overwhelmingly rich or alcoholic, Farina maintains freshness alongside the wine's naturally concentrated character.

The Farina family has been producing wine in the Valpolicella region since 1969, focusing on traditional methods while incorporating modern techniques to enhance quality. This Amarone offers a perfect introduction to the style – rich enough to impress but not so massive that it overwhelms.

It's the vinous equivalent of a perfectly tailored Italian suit – luxurious and impressive without being flashy. Perfect for special occasions or anytime you want to transform an ordinary evening into something memorable.
