Product Information Country Italy Region Veneto Grape Variety 70% Corvina, 30% Rondinella Vintage 2021 ABV 15 % Discover the elegance of Northern Italy with the Corte Giara Amarone della Valpolicella ‘La Groletta’ 2021, a premium full-bodied red wine crafted in the rolling hills of Valpolicella, Veneto. Made using the traditional appassimento method, this Amarone wine is rich in character, beautifully structured, and perfect for collectors or wine lovers seeking a bold Italian red. Vineyard & Terroir Grown in high-quality vineyards in Colline di Grezzana, Montorio, and Marcellise, the grapes thrive at altitudes of 180–250 metres on southeast-facing, chalky soils. These 31-year-old vines are pergola-trained and meticulously pruned to enhance grape quality, producing intensely aromatic fruit ideal for Amarone production. Vintage The 2021 vintage featured cooler spring temperatures and a hot summer, with highs reaching 35°C. Despite the weather challenges, careful vineyard management resulted in grapes with concentrated aromatics and balanced acidity, hallmarks of a great vintage. Traditional Amarone Vinification Harvested in late September, the grapes were air-dried in humidity-controlled rooms for three months, losing about 40% of their weight to intensify flavour. After gentle crushing, fermentation occurred in stainless steel over 22–24 days, followed by 15 months of oak ageing (Slavonian barrels & used barriques) and six months in bottle before release. Tasting Notes This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico offers a deep ruby red hue with enticing aromas of black cherry, black pepper, balsamic herbs, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is dry, well-balanced, and full-bodied, with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is long and powerful, making it an exceptional wine for ageing or enjoying with rich dishes. Perfect Food Pairings Pair with braised beef, aged cheeses, wild mushroom risotto, or enjoy as a luxurious after-dinner wine.
