TASTING NOTES

Production

For the production of this Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, the best bunches of grapes are carefully selected and placed in trays to rest in the drying room for four months, during which the natural process of drying occurs. Between January and February, the dried grapes are pressed, and the dense juice ferments and macerates for 30-40 days in stainless steel. After racking, the wine undergoes a long aging process in large oak barrels of 30 and 50 hectoliters, followed by further aging in the bottle.

Organoleptic Characteristics

It has a purplish red color with intense, bright ruby reflections. The nose is immediately striking, with an explosion of aromas of cherry, sour cherry, ripe red fruits, underbrush, flowers, and orange peel, all blending with elegant spicy notes, aromatic herbs, tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, and pepper. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced, delivering a warm and velvety sensation. The body is full, and the taste is solid, supported by a fresh vein and soft tannins. The vibrant fruit and spice notes return continuously, creating harmonious layers.

Occasion and Pairing

Best enjoyed with red meats and roasts.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Rubinelli Vajol

In the hilly areas of Veneto lies the Conca del Vajol. With its soils with a strong presence of limestone and tufa, with traces of clay and skeleton, it is home to the Cantina Rubinelli Vajol and its 10 hectares of vines, in the heart of the Valpolicella territory. Perfect sun exposure of the vines and a temperate, well-ventilated climate provide ideal terrain for the cultivation of prized grapes, most of which are the indigenous Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara and Oseleta. The grapes are cultivated and cared for using different methods, the traditional ones and some more modern ones. In addition, the land is respected to the highest level with regards to its form, also thanks to the use of mechanical weeding instead of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers. The absolute quality of the wines produced in the winery is also due to a harvest that is entirely carried out by hand in successive steps, depending on the necessary maturation period of the grapes. The result is an absolute excellence of Veneto red wines such as Amarone, Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Recioto, Ripasso and Valpolicella Classico. Name and address of producer/distributor: Rubinelli Vajol - Via Paladon, 31, 37029 San Pietro in Cariano (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
