Pieropan Amarone della Valpolicella Vigna Garzon 2017
Amarone, the symbolic wine of Valpolicella, represents an exciting new challenge for the Pieropan company. It stems from the desire to measure oneself against the Valpolicella terroir, neighbouring Soave, which is different and unique, and from the desire to realise one's red dream of an important wine, rich and structured but also elegant and fine, like all Pieropan wines.

Colour

Deep, with ruby reflections.

Bouquet

Ample, with hints of morello cherry, blackberry and plum.

Flavour

It is complex and rounded, with a powerful structure supporting the fruit and a lovely freshness on the finish.

Pairing

It pairs well with game dishes, grilled or braised meat, and strongly flavoured and aged cheeses. It is also ideal for serving among friends at the end of the meal.
