Luigi Righetti 2020 Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Capitel de Roari

Luigi Righetti Capitel de Roari 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a rich, full-bodied red wine from Italy's Veneto region. Crafted primarily from 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella grapes, it undergoes the traditional appassimento process, where grapes are dried post-harvest to concentrate flavors. After fermentation, the wine is aged for three years in a combination of oak barrels and French barriques, resulting in a complex profile. Tasting notes highlight intense aromas of sweet cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, complemented by cedar and cigar box nuances. The palate offers dried flowers, cassis, and a gripping, dry finish. This vintage was awarded a Silver medal at the 2024 USA Wine  With an alcohol content ranging from 14.5% to 15.5%, this Amarone pairs well with beef, venison, and hearty pasta dishes. It's a well-balanced wine that showcases the depth and elegance characteristic of the Valpolicella Classico zone.
