TASTING NOTES

Production

Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG is made from a blend of Corvina and Corvinone (70%) and Rondinella (30%). After harvesting, the Recioto and Amarone grapes are left to dry for around 100 days in climate-controlled rooms, to achieve the characteristic structure and smoothness typical of these wines. Following vinification, the wine is first aged for 5 years in large wooden barrels (Slavonian oak) and then for at least a further 2 years in glass bottles.

Organoleptic Characteristics

An intense cherry red with garnet highlights, Amarone Riserva Santa Sofia presents an intriguing bouquet on the nose, featuring aromas of ripe red fruit, in particular: black cherry, marasca cherries preserved in alcohol and raspberry, accompanied by spicy notes of roasted coffee, coffee and carob, and a hint of menthol. On the palate, the sensations are in keeping with the aromas and, despite its substantial structure, it is balanced, elegant and harmonious. It finishes long and persistent, supported by good acidity and lively tannins.

Occasion and Pairing

Pair with stewed meats such as slow-cooked and braised dishes, game and mature cheeses. It is also appreciated as a meditation wine.

Serving Temperature

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

Allergens: Solfiti

In Pedemonte, in the heart of the Veneto region and in one of the best-known areas for the production of quality wines, stands the Santa Sofia winery, inside an ancient aristocratic villa designed and built by the renowned architect Andrea Palladio. Since the 1960s, the winery has been in the hands of the Begnoni family, which has also owned it since then. With its 53 hectares of mainly stony land, the winery, under the leadership of the family, has always had the goal of expanding its distribution both nationally and internationally. Initially intending to offer all typical Veronese productions, the company has focused on specific products and selected crops over time, the products of which are harvested in the vineyard with extreme care at every single step. Today Santa Sofia produces and distributes very structured and elegant red wines, including Valpolicella Superiore Montegradella, Recioto della Valpolicella, Bardolino, Amarone, Arlèo, Merlot Corvina and Predaia. However, there is no shortage of fresh, young whites, such as Custoza, Lugana, Pinot Grigio and Soave. Name and address of producer/distributor: Santa Sofia - Via Cà Dedè, 61, 37029 Pedemonte (VR). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
