Amarone della Valpolicella

Amarone Wine Cellar - Ugolini Estate

Amarone della Valpolicella is one of the world’s greatest wines.  

What’s interesting is you can find Amarones that cost between $40 to $400 a bottle. Why is there such a broad range? 

When a name like Amarone becomes famous, many brands get to enjoy that success even if their wines are subpar. 

That’s why unfortunately, many wine lovers are drinking Amarone “brand names” instead of focusing on the source of the wine. 

So the hidden opportunity to experience why Amarone is a miracle among wines begins at the origin vineyard and not the brand name. 

In this virtual master class, author Tony Margiotta will take you deep into the Valpolicella to unearth the secrets of this grand wine.  

You’ll discover:

- The Real History Behind The Name Amarone
- Mother Nature's Key Ingredients To Making Amarone
- Why Each Vintage Has Its Own Identity
- How To Read An Amarone Label Like A Pro
-And much more!

Join us for a very rare opportunity to taste 2 vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella single vineyard cru from the Ugolini Family Estate: 2012, and 2011. 

The Ugolini Family Estate owns some of the most coveted vineyard locations in the Valpolicella Classica. Their wines have received gold medals from international wine competitions throughout the world. The Valpolicella Consortium gave the 2011 vintage a 5-Star rating making it one of the most important vintages in the past 20 years.

You learn from someone else while you learn something about yourself.  The Ugolini “Valle Alta” Amarone is a great conversation wine. It does the talking for you. Sharing among good company will fascinate and delight. This single vineyard cru is called Valle Alta which means “High Valley.”  The vineyard sits 839 feet above sea level. The high elevation is a secret ingredient of the high quality wine that comes from it. A rarity in the Valpolicella. The vineyard is optimum for sun exposure and temperature variations that allow native Italian grapes to mature and develop complexity. Hand-selection of the finest hand-harvested grapes are air dried from October to March. An ancient Roman practice. In March, only the finest of the air dried grapes are hand-selected cluster by cluster to macerate on the skins for 2 months. The artisan wine ages in barrels made with forest French oak and rest in the bottle until ready for drinking. This process can take years depending on the vintage. Ugolini “Valle Alta” is a single vineyard Amarone Cru that will inspire fascinating conversations at the table, on the sofa, or among the cracking flames of a warm fireplace. Decant for 1 hour before serving. Use a large balloon glass for maximum bouquet. Age-worthy for 25 years. Gold Medal - Concours Mondial de Bruxelles / Gold Medal - Mundus Vini / Top 100 Wines Of Italy 2020 - Gold Medal - Merano Wine Hunter Competition
