Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage for Amarone della Valpolicella is outstanding, rated with a score of 94 points. The wines from this year are characterized by their youthful tannins and need time to reach their full potential.

This Amarone della Valpolicella is one of the finest wines from the Montresor winery. Originally a French family, the Montresor family emigrated to Italy in 1892 to fulfill their dream. They purchased an estate in Veneto to produce top-notch wines, and they certainly succeeded. The family crafts their wines with great respect for Italian wine traditions while utilizing modern techniques. In recent years, Montresor has invested heavily in its vineyards, and this is evident in this red Amarone della Valpolicella, among others. It's very full-bodied and creamy with just the right amount of freshness, naturally resulting from the drying of the harvest.

Wood aging for the Montresor Amarone

The vineyards are located in the heart of the Valpolicella region, in the villages of Negrar, Marano, San Pietro in Cariano, and Fumane. Here, Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella grapes are grown in a centuries-old vineyard. The old, thick vines produce a top-notch harvest, thanks in part to the rich soil structure. This soil is a treasure trove for the plants, and you can taste that in this red wine. When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested by hand and rigorously selected; only the best are considered for this red wine. After harvesting, the bunches are laid out in beds and then dried in drying houses. During the drying process, the bunches lose approximately half their original weight, leaving the juice much more concentrated than with a direct pressing. After this crucial period for an Amarone wine, the bunches are pressed, and the juice is of unparalleled quality. This is followed by a long aging process in oak barrels for a period of up to three years—yes, you read that right. Large Slavonian wood casks and French barriques are used. The wine then rests in the bottle for another six months before being released. The result is a truly festive experience!

Full and very powerful this Montresor Amarone della Valpolicella

It's a joy to drink. The bottle alone is remarkable. A unique wine is bottled in a unique bottle, according to the Montresor family. Pouring this Amarone della Valpolicella reveals a ruby-red color with a thick structure. Our senses are stimulated, and the aroma offers a rich, ripe black fruit note. Swirl the glass, and you'll also encounter hints of peach blossom, violets, raspberries, and mint. On the palate, it's a wine with a silky smooth character and fine textures. Plenty of richness of cherries, berries, and plums, complemented by a wealth of spices, cedar, vanilla, and chocolate. The finish is long with a pleasant yet powerful finish. What a gem this Montresor Amarone is.
