Tasting Notes:
This wine’s ruby red color is as intense as its fruity notes, with clear fragrances of blackberry and cherry blending perfectly with the spicy aromas given by the oak. A complex yet extremely well-balanced flavor thanks to velvety tannins that create a remarkably persistent finish. “SIMISON” Amarone is made from a selection of the estate's historical grapevines, all with remarkable positioning and soil composition, creating unique organoleptic properties that make this the most interesting wine of the entire collection.
