Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Biscardo 2022
Biscardo Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a rich, velvety and deeply characterful Amarone from one of the Veneto's most respected family estates, with over 150 years of winemaking history in Soave.

Fermentation takes place at low temperatures for 30 to 50 days, followed by ageing in stainless steel and then small oak barrels of 20 to 50 hectolitres. Tasting Notes Intense garnet red in colour with a rich, persistent bouquet of cherries. The palate is velvety and elegant, with notes of cherry, bitter almond and a characteristic touch of gentle bitterness that defines great Amarone. Long, complex and deeply satis
