The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico by Campagnola is a powerful and elegant red wine that represents one of the most prestigious expressions of the Valpolicella region in Veneto. Produced in the historic Classico area, this wine reflects both the richness of the terroir and the long winemaking tradition of the Campagnola family. Through the traditional appassimento process, where the grapes are carefully dried after harvest, the wine develops exceptional concentration, complexity, and depth.

Grape Varieties: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella

Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected before undergoing the traditional appassimento process, during which they are naturally dried for several months to concentrate sugars and aromas. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place slowly at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for an extended period in oak barrels, where it develops structure, complexity, and harmony before further maturation in the bottle.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, the wine displays an intense deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a rich and complex bouquet of ripe cherries, dried fruits, and plums, accompanied by notes of spices, cocoa, and subtle hints of tobacco. On the palate, the Amarone is full-bodied, powerful, and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and remarkable depth. The finish is long, warm, and persistent.

Food Pairing: Excellent with braised meats, game, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a contemplative wine.
