Bixio Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2017
This fine restaurant-quality imported wine is not available at LCBO stores.
Five generations of the Bixio family have tended their vineyards in the province of Verona since 1866.
"We combine tradition with the most advanced production technologies in order to improve the authenticity of our wines, so that we can offer the highest standards, always following the rule of an excellent quality / price ratio." —Bixio Produttori
Bixio Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is an excellent example of an authentic style of Amarone where the grapes have had a shorter appassimento—drying time—(2-3 months rather than, say, a more traditional 5 months) and the wine has spent between 1 and 2 years in oak aging, as opposed to 2 years or more.
This makes for a more easy-drinking style of authentic Amarone, a "younger brother" if you will, offering fine quality at a more affordable price than a typically quite expensive classic or reserve Amarone.
Grape Varieties: 70% local Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Molinara.
Origin: The hills surrounding the village of Badin in Marano, in the Valpolicella Classico region, Veneto, northern Italy.
Aging: Aging in oak barrels for at least one year, followed by 3 months refinement in the bottle.
Alcohol: 15.5%.
Tasting Notes: Intense ruby-red color. Complex aroma with hints of plum jam and balsamic vinegar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, with flavor notes of blackberry jam, black currants and chocolate.
Food Pairing: Excellent with strongly flavored dishes such as roasted red meats, braised meats, game, grilled meats, and strongly flavored hard cheeses.
Serving Temperature: 18° to 20°C (room temperature or a bit lower).
