Vantorosso, Vanni Rosso Veronese 2018

Vantorosso from Valgatara offers an accessible Amarone variant with the Vanni. Corvina and Rondinella grapes are dried for 30 days (Amarone grapes are dried for 3-4 months), which results in a concentrated, ripe character without the full price tag. The wine aged for 24 months in new oak barrels.

What you smell
Candied cherry and raspberry, with fresh coffee, black pepper, and a hint of tobacco underneath. Warm and inviting, without being overly sweet.

What you taste
Full-bodied and powerful, yet with enough freshness to remain lively. The tannins provide grip without drying out your mouth. Long finish with coffee and dark fruit. Already good to drink, but can age for a few more years.

How it's made
Corvina and Rondinella, hand-harvested and dried for 30 days in special drying rooms. This drying process concentrates the sugars and flavors. Afterwards, it aged for 24 months in new oak, which explains the coffee and spice notes.

Serve
16-18°C. Decant for at least an hour: this will open up its layers and soften the tannins. A large Burgundy glass works best.

Pairs well with

  • Roast duck: the wine's sweet, ripe fruit balances the fatty meat and crispy skin.
  • Braised wild boar: the robust structure and dark notes stand up to a rich, long-cooked stew.
  • Risotto with truffle: the earthy undertone of the wine complements the truffle without overpowering it.

Vantorosso is opgericht door coureur Vanni Pasquali, samen met wijnmaker Franco Allegrini van Allegrini Estates. In de vallei van Fumane herstelde Pasquali het verwaarloosde land van zijn vader tot een modern wijndomein voor Valpolicella Classico.

Valpolicella is de streek van het drogen. Dezelfde druiven leveren er een lichte, sappige rode wijn of een geconcentreerde Amarone, afhankelijk van hoe lang de trossen op rekken hebben gelegen.
