Amarone della Valpolicella CORTE MAJOLI 2020

Tezza CORTE MAJOLI Amarone della Valpolicella 2020 is an exceptional, full-bodied organic Amarone from the renowned Valpantena valley, just north of Verona. Produced by the family-owned Tezza winery, this beautifully crafted wine combines the richness and concentration of traditional Amarone with impressive elegance, freshness and wonderfully smooth tannins. Its distinctive character reflects Valpantena's mineral-rich, calcareous soils.

Made from Corvina and Rondinella, organically grown grapes undergo the traditional appassimento technique, slowly drying in temperature- and humidity-controlled lofts to concentrate their natural sugars, aromas and flavours. Following fermentation and maceration in stainless-steel tanks, the wine undergoes 48 months of maturation in Tezza's cellar, developing impressive complexity, balance and a beautifully rounded texture.

The 2020 displays a deep ruby-red colour with elegant garnet reflections and an expressive bouquet of ripe sour cherries, black cherries, dried rose petals and cocoa, complemented by dark plums, chocolate, liquorice and delicate warming spices. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied and wonderfully velvety, with concentrated dark fruit, soft yet structured tannins, balanced freshness and a long, harmonious finish.

Entering an excellent drinking window! At six years old in 2026, this Amarone combines generous fruit concentration with emerging secondary aromas of dried figs, tobacco, cocoa and balsamic herbs. Its impressive structure and balanced freshness make it enjoyable already, while promising further complexity and refinement with additional bottle ageing.

A magnificent organic Amarone – powerful yet elegant, richly textured and remarkably harmonious! Enjoy now after gentle aeration or continue cellaring well-stored bottles for another 6–10 years, potentially longer.
