    8R

    Old World subtlety is replaced with a juicy New World palate. Real fullness begins here.

    *8R* 2016 Monte Faustino Amarone di Valpolicella (Veneto, IT)

    Amarone Monte Faustino is a wine that exquisitely captures the essence of the ancient vineyard from which it hails. The unique terroir, characterized by its hilly terrain, coupled with the deep-rooted vines of Grandfather Fornaser's historic vineyard, culminates in the creation of Valpolicella's finest wine. This Amarone is the result of meticulous grape selection, extended drying, and prolonged aging in barrique and bottle, resulting in an unparalleled gem. With its deep garnet-red hue, it offers an enduring bouquet of ripe red fruit, including cherry, plum, and almond. Its flavor profile is full and refined, boasting hints of vanilla, coffee, and chocolate. This Amarone pairs beautifully with game dishes, grilled meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. When savored on its own, it transforms into an unrivaled wine for contemplation and reflection.

    About The Varietal

    Corvina

    Corvina is an Italian red grape variety widely recognized for its significant role in the production of Valpolicella wines, often in partnership with Rondinella. The most notable feature of Corvina is its distinctive sour cherry flavor, along with its tendency to produce wines that are lighter in color and structure, typically displaying a bright red hue and lower tannin levels.
