Zyme Amarone Classico della Valpolicella Riserva La Mattonara 2009 750ml

The aroma features ripe cherry, morello cherry, semi-dried plum, balsamico, and spice. Impressive and enticing complexity. Rich, long-lasting, and perfectly balanced on the palate, with notes of cherry marmalade, dried plum, and chestnut blossom. It lengthens with age, producing delicate overtones of pepper, black licorice, and cocoa powder. It pairs well with matured cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano, as well as grilled, roasted, or boiled meats. Excellent when consumed alone, with chocolate, or with a pipe or excellent cigar.

The phrase ‘The maximum embodiment of typicity’ expresses the idea of sticking to tradition. The label depicts a grape leaf with its veins replaced by fingerprint lines, emphasizing the importance of man’s hand and the relationship of man and nature in the creation of this wine. Mattonara is named for the sandstone quarry where the winery is located, which was once used to make bricks for churches and mansions.
