Amarone della Valpolicella VALPANTENA MAGNUM 1.5 L 2015

Tezza Amarone della Valpolicella VALPANTENA 2015 is an exceptional, full-bodied Amarone from the renowned Valpantena valley, just north of Verona. Produced by the family-owned Tezza winery, this elegant yet powerful wine combines remarkable concentration, complexity and richness, reflecting the distinctive character of Valpantena's mineral-rich, limestone soils. Presented in the impressive 1.5 L MAGNUM format, it is a wonderful choice for special occasions and lovers of mature Italian reds.

Made from Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone, carefully selected grapes undergo the traditional appassimento technique, slowly drying under controlled conditions to concentrate their natural sugars, aromas and flavours. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes extended maturation, developing the depth, complexity and beautifully integrated tannins characteristic of fine Amarone.

The 2015 displays a deep ruby-garnet colour and a wonderfully complex bouquet of ripe black cherries, dried plums, raisins and blackberries, complemented by dark chocolate, liquorice, tobacco, vanilla and warming spices. On the palate, it is powerful, richly concentrated and wonderfully velvety, with layers of dark fruit, silky tannins, balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish.

Beautifully mature and entering its prime drinking window! At eleven years old in 2026, this Amarone should be reaching an exciting stage of development. Its concentrated fruit is likely to be complemented by increasingly complex secondary and tertiary aromas of dried figs, leather, tobacco, balsamic herbs and earthy spices. The MAGNUM format encourages slower maturation, potentially preserving freshness and structure for longer than a standard bottle.

A magnificent, sophisticated Amarone – powerful yet elegant, beautifully mature and wonderfully age-worthy! Enjoy now after gentle aeration or continue cellaring well-stored magnums for another 5–8 years.
