Stefano Accordini - 2012
Item #372
After a very long dry season, the fermentation is made at low temp allowing only the finest flavors to be taken from the skins & the wine is still sweet when it is moved into barrels; the wine is then aged 6 years in little Cherry wood barrels, giving a unique essence to the wine, while keeping fermenting very slow.
Known as a wine in the middle between Amarone & Recioto because the bitter taste is finely covered from sweetness, so the characteristic flavor of Cherry under spirit & bitter almond are clearly perceived that convey cozy & velvety feelings.
The Passito Amandorlato, the new wine just released by our Company, is part of the finest products range selected by Accordini Family only in the best vintages and for which we devote the greatest attention. An intense six-year aging inside little cherry wood barrels makes the Passito Amandorlato a unique wine that represents one of the best expressions of the Valpolicella tradition. The bitter note given to it by the cherry wood is finely covered from sweetness so as to make it an intermediate wine between Amarone and Recioto.
