2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Canova, Ca dei Maghi

Red Blend

Ca dei Maghi is a small yet perfectly formed winery in the hills which focusses on quality over quantity.  The Amarone Riserva Canova is a stunning, and very classic style Amarone made in the traditional way with grapes which are dried in huts over the winter.  Following fermetation the wine spends 60 months ageing in barrel providing beautifully integrated wood, spice and fruit.  This decadent Amarone is rich and warming with the typical plum, cherry and choclate characteristics one would expect on the wonderfully silky palate.  The finish is very long and warming - one for those long winter evenings!
