The Villa Spinosa Albasini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico appears a garnet red color in the glass. The nose opens with scents of blackberry, bilberry and black currant with notes of vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, caramel and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Soft tannins makes the wine harmonic, good structure and elegance well balanced with the alcohol content.
Pair with roasts and game. It is also a dialogue or meditation wine and it may be enjoyed on its own after the meal.
The Amarone “Albasini” is the most representative wine of our winery. It is our idea of Amarone: a wine that stands out for its traditional and austere style. Fineness and elegance are its strength and its identity. Since the vintage 2010, we have dedicated it to our ancestors, the Albasini, who built the cottage of Figari and began to cultivate the surrounding fields, now planted with vines. Figari is today one of the three cru vineyards of our winery and a natural terrace on the Valpolicella Classica, overlooking the valley of Marano di Valpolicella.
Principally a blend of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and small percentage of Rondinella.
Manual harvest, from middle September to the beginning of October; the grapes are carefully selected and placed in small baskets for drying for 3-4 months during which the grapes lose about 30% of their original weight.
Aged in wood for 12 months in 500 litre French oak tonneaux and 4 years in 2000-2500 litre Slavonian oak casks followed by 12 months in bottle.
