Tasting Notes The Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva La Mattonara keeps you at the edge of the glass, as it opens up in layers, showing dried cherries, currants and hints of pine. Further coaxing brings forward savory smoke followed by crushed blackberries, cinnamon, clove and candied citrus. The textures are like pure silk, slowly draped across the palate with a polished sheen, leaving ripe red and black fruits, mocha, sweet herbs and autumnal spice. You can feel the weight, yet the 2008 remains remarkably balanced, vibrant and flat-out delicious, with a finish that never seems to end. Wow!!
Selling Point The peak of what an Amarone should be
Pairings Roasts, steaks, ossobucco, aged cheese like parmesan, cigars
The Story
The phrase “The fullest expression of typicity” conveys the concept of fidelity to tradition. The label bears the image of a grape leaf whose veins are replaced by the lines of a fingerprint, to underscore the importance of the hand of man and of the interaction of man and nature in the fashioning of this wine. The name Mattonara is a tribute to the sandstone quarry in which the winery lies, which was used at one time for the bricks used in building churches and villas.
