A fine Amarone red wine. The seven brothers and cousins involved with ILatium Morini changed their approach in 2004 and decided to keep the best grapes to make wine themselves. Since 2004 the torrent of accolades, including glowing reviews from Jancis Robinson, would suggest that they made the right decision. Now they stand at the forefront of the new wave production of Amarone. This is the perfect gift for a serious wine lover, presented in a wooden gift box. This wine can be enjoyed now or aged for a few more years in the cellar.
"Amarone is such a big and decadent wine style that whenever you open a bottle it feels like a special occasion. This one from Ilatium is just divine. I'd savour this with slow cooked Lamb shank in a rich red wine sauce."
Ilatium Morini, Amarone della Valpolicella "Campo Leon" 2016, 16.5% Italy, Vegan
This fabulous wine combines beautiful fruit concentration with fresh, bright acidity. Oh boy is it big. In flavour and in alcohol. Intense and ample ripe black fruit and sour cherries join herby and earthy notes and vanilla on the nose. The palate is equally big. There's an exquisite, velvety texture and really rich and pruney, raisined fruit layered with fresh red cherry and violet with more vanillin oak. It is so intense but with lovely balance and richness.
Give this an hour in a decanter to open up and you'll be rewarded.
Try this with a melty lamb shank
