Casalforte Amarone Riserva DOCG 2016 750 ML

The Casalforte Amarone Riserva DOCG 2016 is a full-bodied red wine from the Veneto region of Italy. It is made from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes that have been dried for 120 days. This process concentrates the flavors and sugars in the grapes, resulting in a wine with a rich, complex flavor profile. \n Image of Casalforte Amarone Riserva DOCG 2016 wine bottleOpens in a new window \n cantineriondo.com \n Casalforte Amarone Riserva DOCG 2016 wine bottle \n \n The 2016 vintage was a good one for Amarone, with warm, sunny weather during the growing season.
