Still red Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, 15.5% ABV, produced by Casa Sartori 1898 in Veneto, 2017 vintage. An Amarone Riserva that expresses the power and elegance of a great Italian wine, the fruit of a long family tradition. The grapes are carefully selected and placed in small plastic crates holding approximately 5-6 kg. They are then placed in special drying rooms (fruttaio) with humidity control. They remain there for approximately three months, during which the moisture content loses 30% of its weight, but all of the essential components of the grape are highly concentrated. After racking, malolactic fermentation is facilitated, and the wines are then transferred to wood of various sizes, types, and origins. The barrels used are 20-25 hl, the 500-liter casks, and finally the 225-liter barriques. Regular racking, careful cellaring, and subsequent blending during the 25-month maturation period give the wine balance and rounded tannins. Spicy aromas of dried figs, morello cherry, and aromatic herbs. Ruby-red color with purple highlights, good intensity and density. Good persistence on the palate, with elegant, sweet tannins and a pleasant, velvety balsamic note. Balanced aftertaste, very enveloping and pleasant.
