Le Calendre - Valpolicella
Small cellar (25,000 bottles) managed by the young Federico.
Federico is deeply convinced
that wine is above all the fruit of the earth, he practices viticulture that is particularly attentive to tradition and the environment.
The winery is RRR certified (reduce, save, respect).
Amarone from Valpolicella d.o.c.g
It is a wine of great prestige obtained from the scrupulous selection of the best grapes, then left to dry in trays for long months.
Before pouring it is aged in large oak barrels in a skilful and not too invasive way.
Vigorous and elegant, with a complex structure and undoubted personality.
Drying: About 110-120 days, in wooden boxes placed in the loft with
possibility of controlling humidity and temperature.
Vinification: At the end of January / February, soft pressing and maceration on the
peels; slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks with
daily pumping over and punching down.
Aging: In 5 and 10 HL Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months.
Subsequent refinement in the bottle.
Alcohol content: 16% vol.
Pairings: Perfect for big gastronomic appointments, suitable with
game, roasts and spicy cheeses. Also ideal between meals
as a "meditation" wine
Format: 0.75 lt
ItalyPersonalmente non amo molto l'Amarone (per i miei gusti è troppo pesante troppo impegnativo e a tratti stucchevole...) però dopo aver assaggiato il Ripasso sempre della cantina Calendre (Fotonico!!!) ho deciso di provare anche il loro l'Amarone, l'ho messo messo di fronte a sua maestà PANE e SALAME. Devo dire che è stato subito amore a prima vista.. un mix di emozioni che mi hanno riportato ad antichi sapori. Super consigliato, però, mi raccomando è un vino importante che va dosato con maestria perché i suoi 16,5 gradi non sono da subito percepiti, ma poi... Ma poi dico io, chi se ne frega, siamo in quarantena e non dobbiamo guidare!!!
