DESCRIPTION:  Amarone Valpolicella DOC Classic is of the Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Oseleta grape varieties. It is grown in the San Pietro region in Cariano, Verona.

STORY:  Montecariano is set in a naturally hilly area which gives the idea of being "a center of energy". Here the wind blows softly. The finding of a large stone surrounded by olive trees takes us directly back to a time in which rustic habits were celebrated.

Here the earth has ancient furrows. It generates vines and gives life to grapes. It favors the ritual of the grape harvest. The area to the south of San Pietro in Cariano is a part of this ancient land, where the winery Montecariano is located. While planting the vines many Roman ruins were uncovered, traces of a distant time, from where the slow but punctual miracle of wine begins.

TASTE:  This intense ruby red has matured fruits and spices arranging a bouquet of cherry, black pepper, cinnamon, peach and almond.

FOOD MATCHING:  To be enjoyed with a variety of sausages, all cheeses, poultry, and various soups.
