TASTING NOTES

Production

Amarone Classico della Valpolicella is made from a blend of indigenous red grape varieties from the Veneto region, comprising 70% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella and 5% other indigenous red grapes. The vines are trained using the pergola system, and during the manual harvest, the Secondo Marco winery selects only the finest bunches, which are then left to dry for around 120 days. The must ferments for 45 days, macerating in contact with the skins. The process then moves on to the crucial ageing phase, during which the wine is first left for 42 months in 50-hectolitre oak barrels, and after bottling, for a further 12 months to mature directly in the bottle.

Organoleptic Characteristics

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from the Secondo Marco winery presents itself to the eye with a dark, dense colour reminiscent of ruby. The nose is deep, revealing notes of small red and black berries, interspersed with hints of spice and lightly roasted coffee. On the palate, it is full-bodied, vigorous, smooth and warm, with a substantial and flavourful profile, underpinned by perfectly integrated tannins that enhance the wine’s drinkability.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine of great character and intensity, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is excellent paired with mature cheeses or with stewed red meat main courses.

Serving Temperature

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

THE WINERY

Secondo Marco

The Secondo Marco winery is located in Fumane, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The area enjoys a perfect microclimate: a combination of winds and a cold-mild climate, particularly favourable for the development of vines. The soil is rich in mineral salts and is very variable in stratigraphy, even for vineyards in the same locality. This is combined with the variables of research in the winery to bring out all the full flavour and richness of the grape's aromas. The company comes from a family tradition, with the desire to change and offer something new but with the intention of leaving room for the new generation. The company, after years of continuous research and observation in the vineyard and soil, decided to be the first to adopt the modified Y-shaped pergola planting, altering the traditional cultivation method used for the vines of Valpolicella. The advantages were mainly to allow more light, ventilation and leaf structure for the vines. The bunches of grapes grow perfectly in a hanging manner, without touching the shoots and avoiding invasive maintenance with greater ease of harvesting during the harvest period. Name and address of producer/distributor: Secondo Marco Azienda Agricola, Via Campolongo 9, 37022 Fumane (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
