Monte del Fra 'Scarnocchio' Amarone della Valpolicella

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.
