TASTING NOTES

Production

The Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG is made from the vinification of Corvina and Corvinone (70%) and Rondinella (30%). After harvest, the grapes for Recioto and Amarone are left to dry for about 100 days in climate-controlled rooms, allowing for the characteristic structure and softness typical of these labels. After vinification, the wine is rested first for 5 years in large wooden barrels (Slavonian oak) and then for at least another 2 years directly in glass.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Intense cherry red with garnet reflections, Amarone Riserva Santa Sofia presents an intriguing aromatic profile on the nose, highlighting scents of ripe red fruit, particularly sour cherries, brandied cherries, and raspberries, accompanied by spicy notes of roasting, coffee, and carob, along with a menthol touch. On the palate, the sensations align with the aromas, and despite its significant structure, it is balanced, elegant, and harmonious. It finishes long and persistent, supported by good acidity and a vibrant tannic structure.

Occasion and Pairing

To be paired with braised meats such as stews and pot roasts, game, and aged cheeses. It is also appreciated as a wine for meditation

Serving Temperature

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

THE WINERY

Santa Sofia

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.
