Telos L'Amarone della Valpolicella Vegan 2020

Description

Still red, green, an Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, 15.5% ABV, produced by Tenuta Sant'Antonio. Blend: 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 5% Croatina, 5% Oseleta. 0.75L bottle, 2020 vintage. A vegan Amarone born from the passion of the Castagnedi family, with a deep knowledge of the vine and its terroir. On the nose, it is intense, complex, and refined, with floral notes of red fruit such as cherry, currant, and blueberry, but also spicy notes of pepper, cloves, and licorice. The mineral presence of its aromas is also evident and dominant, particularly the classic and distinctive hint of black graphite that characterizes its origin and close connection to the soil and terroir. The aromatic spectrum is rounded out by tertiary notes from aging in French oak tonneaux, which give it light and pleasant hints of cocoa, vanilla, and coffee. On the palate, it is dry, warm, and quite smooth. Well-balanced and persistent, its continuous evolution deserves to be discovered gradually.

We are 4 brothers with a deep knowledge of vines and their territory. Our dream was born among our father’s vineyards, in the heart of Valpolicella. It has rural origins and strong ambitions. It leads us to take the utmost care for the wine we produce at every processing stage. With a very clear intention: the pursuit of excellence.

Our vineyards extend between Soave and Valpolicella, noble territories with different characteristics and personality. These are territories where we know the terrain inside out, where the sun shines and when the shade comes so that we can rest for a while. This is our land and we love it. Read more
