Amarone Selezione Antonio Castagnedi delivers high quality at a fantastic price every year. If you've ever had the opportunity to stand in old, hand-fired brick drying sheds, three storeys high, filled with hot steam, leaves tied in bundles, stacked up and up and up, you'll know what this wine smells like. It is an extraordinary odour. It smells of steam-soaked red clay bricks, of tobacco leaves, green, yellow, gold, copper-coloured, brown and of earth, spices, dust and oven smoke. It is the smell of a good Amarone.

Bright ruby red in colour with sparkling reflections. Dark and seductive on the palate with a mixture of black cherries and crushed violet sweets that fade into a hint of cocoa. This is all contrasted by a hint of bitter balsamic spice. It finishes with youthful tension, leaving a layer of grippy tannins that are nicely balanced by a hint of residual acidity. Its richness and depth make it the perfect accompaniment to winter cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby red with garnet-coloured edges. Distinctly spicy, slightly fleshy bouquet, reminiscent of cloves, cedar wood and cornelian cherry. Full-bodied on the palate with overripe flavours. Noticeable, wide-meshed tannin." Falstaff
