Amarone della Galpolicella 2003 750ml

Amarone has its origins in the Roman Empire and today is one of the Jewels of European winemaking. Hand picked grapes from each vintage in the Valpolicella district are allowed to wither naturally on straw mats for up to 90 days after harvest in order to concentrate their flavors and sugar. After gentle pressing (usually just after Christmas), the wine is slowly fermented and then aged in oak for several years. This unique process yields a wine prized by winelovers for its rich velvety texture, intense flavors and superb balance. This full bodied and deep ruby red wine is a perfect accompaniment to game, roasts, stews, most red meats and full - flavored cheeses. Bolla Amarone should be served at room temperature and uncorked two to three hours prior to serving.
