100th Anniversary Amarone della Valpolicella Montresor DOCG

Kept back from a stunning 2011 vintage especially for release this year. 100 years of Montresor’s famous satin amarone bottle. This anniversary bottling has spent nearly a decade in old Slavonian oak., and is presented in an individual box. The classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.

The subtle aromas are quite shy to start, but open in the glass to give complex dried fruit characters with brown spice, liquorice and dried flowers. Ripe fruit with a gentle sweetness is nicely balanced by fresh acidity and bitter cherry grip leading to a velvety, ethereal finish. Echoes of fine old Tawny Port or mature Barolo, a real old charmer.
