 Tasting Note: Barolo is a red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is known for its full-bodied, tannic character and is often described as one of Italy's greatest wines. Barolo is produced in the designated Barolo DOCG zone, which includes 11 communes in the Langhe hills, with the town of Barolo at its center.

Barolo is known for its complex aromas and flavors, which often include notes of tar, leather, roses, and red fruit such as cherry and raspberry. It has a high acidity and firm tannins, which can give it a somewhat austere character in its youth but can also contribute to its ability to age gracefully.

Product Details: Farina Amarone della Valpolicella is a high-quality Italian wine produced in the Valpolicella region of northeastern Italy, specifically in the Veneto region. 

Grape Varieties: Amarone is typically made from a blend of several grape varieties, including Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and sometimes other local grapes like Molinara and Oseleta. The Corvina grape is often the predominant variety.

Production Method: One of the most distinctive features of this Amarone wine is the production process known as "appassimento." In this process, harvested grapes are dried for an extended period, usually several months, to concentrate their sugars and flavours. This raisining process results in a wine with higher alcohol content, rich flavours, and a deep color.

Flavor Profile: Farina Amarone della Valpolicella is known for its bold and complex flavour profile. It often exhibits notes of dried dark fruits such as cherries, plums, and raisins, along with hints of spices, tobacco, chocolate, and sometimes a touch of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish.
