Amarone della Valpolicella CORTE MAJOLI 2021

Tezza CORTE MAJOLI Amarone della Valpolicella 2021 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 remarkable elegance, freshness and wonderfully smooth tannins. Its distinctive character reflects Valpantena's limestone-rich soils, naturally abundant in calcium, magnesium and potassium.

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 in stainless-steel tanks with regular pumping over, the wine undergoes 48 months of maturation in Tezza's cellar, developing impressive depth, complexity and a beautifully rounded texture.

The 2021 displays a deep ruby-red colour with elegant garnet reflections and an expressive bouquet of sour cherries, ripe black cherries, dried rose petals and cocoa, complemented by subtle notes of dark plums, chocolate and warming spices. On the palate, it is rich, full-bodied and wonderfully velvety, with concentrated fruit, soft yet structured tannins, balanced freshness and a long, harmonious finish.

Entering an excellent drinking window! At five years old in 2026, this Amarone combines generous youthful fruit with emerging complexity. Its impressive structure, freshness and beautifully integrated tannins make it enjoyable already, while further bottle ageing should reveal increasingly sophisticated aromas of dried figs, tobacco, leather and balsamic herbs.

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.
