Tasting Notes
All Amarone is the result of drying the grapes for 3 to 5 months prior to pressing. Capitel de Roari is Righetti’s premium amarone, coming from the best grape selection, and receiving delicate oak treatment.
This is a well-balanced Amarone that still exhibits much of the dark fruit flavours, earth and meaty components expected of this DOC. Aromas of black cherry and prunes joined by beefy and earthy aromas. Moves along the palate nicely with a mix of dark and dried fruit with some meatiness on the finish. Elegant but exhibiting good concentration. You will not find many wines at this price and quality.
Food Pairings
Bolognese, cheese, good match with beef or lamb dishes
Third Party Reviews
With one whiff of raisonated grape and soft chocolate on the nose, there is no mistaking that Amarone awaits. Classic flavors of mocha, stewed figs, and baked plums carry through a velvety mouthfeel. A remarkable example of a lauded expression. Score 92, Ultimate Wine Challenge, 2019
