Aristocratico Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2020 is a powerful, full-bodied red wine from one of Italy's most celebrated appellations. Produced by Enoitalia from Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes grown in the Valpolicella Classico zone of the Veneto, it is made using the traditional appassimento method, where harvested grapes are partially dried to concentrate sugars, flavours, and structure before slow fermentation and extended oak ageing. The result is a wine of pronounced intensity, elegance, and remarkable complexity at 15% ABV. Rated 4.1 on Vivino.

Why You'll Love It

Amarone della Valpolicella is one of Italy's great red wines, and the Aristocratico Classico 2020 delivers everything the appellation promises at an outstanding price. The appassimento drying process is the key to Amarone's extraordinary character, concentrating the fruit into something richer, deeper, and more complex than a conventional red wine could achieve. Full-bodied, structured, and beautifully balanced, with sour black cherry, ripe plum, rich oak, and sweet spice, this is a wine that rewards patience and attention. An outstanding choice for a special occasion or a considered evening at the table. Producer Enoitalia is a leading family-owned winery established in 1986 by the Pizzolo family, based in Calmasino near Lake Garda in the Veneto. The estate combines modern production facilities with traditional Italian winemaking expertise, and the family continues to invest in people and equipment to ensure consistent quality and innovation across their portfolio.

Production

Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes are harvested from the Valpolicella Classico zone and partially dried using the traditional appassimento method, concentrating sugars, flavours, and tannins. The wine then undergoes slow fermentation followed by extended ageing in oak, developing the structure, depth, and complexity that define a classic Amarone while retaining balance and elegance.
