Monte del Frà, a family-run estate with centuries of winemaking heritage in Veneto, is renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines. Their 'Scarnocchio' Amarone della Valpolicella is crafted from the estate’s finest vineyards, showcasing the power and finesse of this prestigious appellation.

Made from hand-harvested Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, the wine follows the traditional appassimento method, where the grapes are dried for several months to intensify their flavors before slow fermentation. Aged in large oak barrels, this Amarone develops remarkable depth, structure, and complexity.

Expect an intensely aromatic nose of black cherries, dried plums, and figs, intertwined with dark chocolate, sweet spices, and a hint of tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with refined tannins and a long, luxurious finish that lingers with notes of licorice, coffee, and balsamic undertones.

This is an Amarone of great character and aging potential, perfect for pairing with braised meats, game, rich risottos, and aged cheeses—or simply savored as a contemplative glass on its own.

A masterfully crafted Amarone—rich, structured, and deeply expressive of its terroir.

Some information about your order

Please let us know if you would like a specific note included with your order. We tend to wrap all bottles in paper and reuse wine cases for shipping to keep our carbon footprint low.
Shipping should be automatically adjusted depending on your postcode. Free delivery covers all Liverpool postcodes, and the following Cheshire postcodes: CH41-49, CH60-63. Find out more on our Deliveries page.
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
If something is wrong with your order or it's not what you expected, please get in touch and we'll sort it out. We'll look to rectify any mistakes where possible.
