Product Description
Balerin Amarone della Valpolicella DOC
50% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella. Balerin Amarone della Valpolicella DOC is a deep garnet red colour. On the nose, it has an intense aroma with evident hints of black cherries and unique notes from the drying process, such as spice, dark chocolate and tobacco as well as goudron” from the aging process. A generous, velvety and persistent palate, highly-extracted, with well-balanced alcohol and a particularly intense minerality, typical of this wine.
