Cellar for up to 14 years. Decant 2 hours before serving. Set close to the village of San Pietro amongst the romantic rolling hills of the Valpolicella wine region, the Brunelli estate has been in the hands of the same family since it was founded in 1936. Today the winery is run by Luigi and Luciana along with their son Alberto who have sought to celebrate Valpolicella’s winemaking traditions while embracing modern techniques. The family insist on harvesting all of their grapes by hand and they have also strived to preserve and recuperate little-known local grape varieties that have been forgotten or overlooked. Their flagship wines are the Brunelli Amarones which are made by selecting and harvesting the ripest grapes which are then left to dry over the winter. For their Amarone Classico the family chooses the finest Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes which are dried and slowly fermented at low temperature. The wine is then allowed to mature in oak casks for 24 months. This distinctive winemaking technique creates an incredibly concentrated nose which exudes crushed redcurrants, blueberries and red cherries along with hints of sweet spices from the oak. Take a sip and you’ll notice the full body, soft mouthfeel and luscious wild berry flavours which are carefully balanced by the fresh acidity. Thanks to this rich, generous character, this is an ideal partner for a hearty beef goulash, grilled red meats or even sweet-and-sour Asian dishes.
