Zyme Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2013

Colour

Intense ruby red, glycerine-rich, tending towards garnet with ageing.

Bouquet

Notes of ripe cherry and morello cherry, semi-dried plum, and spices.

Flavour

Enters with appealing savouriness, mirroring the fragrances on the nose and adding fruit preserves; with ageing, the palate lengthens, off ering delicate impressions of pepper, black liquorice and cocoa powder.

Pairing

At its best with roasts and boiled meats, aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano. Enjoyed on its own or at meal’s end, it is superb.
