Le Bignele Amarone Classico

  • Appellation: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico
  • Winery: Le Bignele
  • Region: Veneto, Italy

Appearance:  This Amarone Classico offers a deep, brooding garnet hue with subtle mahogany glints at its edges. Upon swirling, its viscosity is evident in the slow, elegant legs that descend the glass.

Nose: A heady symphony of aromas awakens. Initial notes of preserved cherries, blackberries, and plums intertwine with nuances of dried fig,  raisin, and a hint of dark chocolate. As the wine breathes, subtle layers of tobacco, leather, and sweet baking spices emerge.

Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, this Amarone displays a remarkable balance of intense flavour and a velvety texture. Ripe black fruit flavours dominate, mirroring the nose, while hints of mocha, vanilla and  anise add complexity. Structured acidity provides lift, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. Supple tannins lend a gentle grip on the long, luxurious finish.

Overall Impression: Le Bignele Amarone Classico is an excellent representation of this iconic Italian wine style. Its powerful concentration and depth are beautifully tempered by elegance and refinement.  This is a wine that demands contemplation and rewards patience, evolving gracefully in the glass.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

  • Rich braised meats such as beef short ribs or osso buco
  • Mature, hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or aged cheddar
  • Hearty mushroom risotto
  • Venison with dark berry sauce
  • Dark chocolate desserts

Ageing Potential:  Le Bignele Amarone Classico has the potential to age beautifully for a decade or more, developing further tertiary complexities of leather, forest floor, and dried fruit.
