Product Details: A Symphony of Portuguese Flavours In the heart of Portugal's enchanting wine country, Casa Santos Lima crafts a masterpiece that celebrates the rich tapestry of this sun-soaked land. Their Red Blend is a true symphony of flavours, a harmonious composition that dances on the palate with every sip. In the glass, this wine unveils a deep, garnet-red hue, hinting at the depth of its character. The nose is an inviting medley of dark cherries and plump, ripe blackberries, intertwined with subtle notes of cedar and vanilla from oak ageing. A touch of earthiness and a whisper of dried herbs complete the aromatic ensemble.

On the palate, the Casa Santos Lima Red Blend unfolds with grace and complexity. Juicy red and black fruit flavors dominate, with layers of blackcurrant, plum, and raspberry. Velvety tannins provide structure, while a judicious use of oak adds hints of spice and a gentle touch of toasty vanilla. There's a delightful balance between fruitiness and a refined, lingering finish.

Producer: Farina Wines

Made In: Veneto, Italy

Bottle Size: 750 mL

Alcohol/Vol: 15%

Varietal: Corvina 70%/Rondinella 20%/Molinara 10%

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.
