A powerful yet elegant Amarone from the eastern Negrar valley, made from sun-dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. Aged 30 months in oak and a year in bottle, it reveals layered aromas of cherry, herbs, spice, and tobacco, with rich fig and cranberry on the palate. Balanced by fair acidity and refined tannins, its 17% ABV and subtle residual sugar give depth without excess. Only 9,000 bottles produced.

The Mazzi brothers are based on the eastern flanks of the Negrar valley, where they farm seven hectares of vines. Their Punta di Villa, from a southwest-facing site at 250m, is aged for some 30 months in oak and a further year in bottle before release. A shy nose of cherry and herbs is followed by a full, rich and juicy palate with flavours of fig, cranberry and cherry, and fair acidity. The 6.2 g/l of residual sugar is not too obvious alongside the 17% alcohol content.
