Stefano Accordini Acinatico Amarone Valpolicella 2020 750ml
Big, bold, and unmistakably Amarone—this wine is crafted from hand-selected grapes dried for months in hillside orchards before aging for two years in oak. The result? A rich, velvety red packed with black cherry, spice, and dried fruit, all wrapped in smooth tannins and a lingering finish. Elegant yet powerful, it’s a perfect match for roasted meats or aged cheese.

Deep ruby red color. Smooth aroma of dried fruit, with light perfume of purple flower. Smooth taste, with soft tannins, sugars and acidity highlight the dried fruit.

Our Amarone comes from the best selection of grapes, which grow high up in the hills of Valpolicella. Is a red wine of great structure, elegant complexity and a really warm and spicy bouquet, with raisin fruit flavor. It requires a long period of drying the grapes and a long aging in barrels.
Oenological practice: The best grapes are selected, placed in 6 Kg trunks and left to rest in our orchards for 90-120 days. During this drying period a sequence of biochemical processes and the microorganism Botritis Nobile partially transform sugars into glycerine.
After crushing the grapes, a long maceration and month-long alcoholic fermentation follows, resulting in a very structured and incredibly aromatic wine. 2 years of ageing in big barrels and oak wood tonneaux follows, where it completes its malolactic fermentation and matures into a distinctive personality.
Tasting notes: Intense red ruby colour with garnet shades, elegant bouquet with black cherry hints, very mature fruits and spices. It's a wine with great structure and complexity, but still smooth and elegant.
