Monte Tondo Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
An Elegant Italian Amarone with Exceptional Character
Monte Tondo Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is a prestigious Italian red wine that showcases the depth, richness and elegance for which Amarone della Valpolicella is renowned. Produced from carefully selected grapes grown in the Valpolicella DOC area, this full-bodied wine combines traditional winemaking methods with extended maturation to create a complex and captivating drinking experience. With an impressive 16% ABV, it offers generous fruit character while maintaining a refined and remarkably smooth profile.
The grapes come from vineyards in Campiano, near Cazzano di Tramigna, as well as Cogollo in Tregnago. These carefully selected sites provide the ideal conditions for producing grapes with concentration and structure. The blend consists of 40% Corvina, 30% Corvinone and 30% Rondinella, three varieties that play an important role in the distinctive character of Amarone.
Traditional Amarone Production
The grapes are harvested during the first ten days of October. After harvesting, they undergo a long semi-drying process in special, dry and well-ventilated rooms known as “fruttai”. This traditional technique allows the grapes to lose water naturally while concentrating their sugars, aromas and flavours.
In February, after the drying period, fermentation takes place on the skins for approximately 25 days, with daily pumpovers to encourage excellent extraction of colour, aromas and structure. Subsequently, the wine matures for an impressive 40 months in barriques. As a result, Monte Tondo Amarone develops remarkable depth alongside a beautifully integrated and elegant character.
Rich Aromas and a Long, Elegant Finish
In the glass, this Amarone displays a deep ruby-red colour with attractive garnet hues. On the nose, it offers an intense and inviting fruity bouquet, featuring ripe cherry and dried plum. Furthermore, delicate aromas of dried flowers combine with subtle hints of sweet spices, adding complexity and sophistication.
On the palate, the wine is smooth, captivating and full-bodied. Its generous structure remains balanced by an elegant texture, while the concentrated fruit flavours lead into a long and memorable finish. With 4.5 g/L of residual sugar and 5.6 g/L of total acidity, the wine combines richness with freshness and balance.
Perfect Food Pairings
Monte Tondo Amarone della Valpolicella is an excellent companion for substantial meat dishes. In particular, its full body and intense flavour make it an ideal match for entrecôte, grilled meats and succulent dishes cooked on the spit. Serve at 20–22°C to allow its aromas and flavours to fully develop.
