About the Wine
“The Veneto is its own vinous nation; it has the volume and the quality to stand on its own outside the context of Italian wine. One wine that shines particularly bright in the Veneto is the mighty Amarone, where “It is king,” made from only the best varietals in the region.” ~ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Located right in the heart of the magical Valpolicella region, is the old and famous Marchesi Fumanelli winery. Since 1470, the Fumanelli family began their wine story with the plantation of its first vines, which until today, have been focused on the production of Amarone.
Marchesi Fumanelli boasts 28 generations of winegrowing expertise. The Squarano Estate, just eight miles from Verona, is surrounded by stunning cypress and cherry trees. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, the estate is steeped in history, sitting amidst ancient Roman ruins, including a temple dedicated to the goddess Flora.
Current CEO, Armando Fumanelli, returned to the family estate in 1998 after a global career. His modern touch, including restoring the 15th-century cellars, has elevated the estate's reputation for exceptional Valpolicella wines.
Aging: 30 months in French oak tonneaux and a further 8 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes
40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella. An intense garnet red color. The wine displays typical fragrances of mature cherries and wild berry, with elegant hints of sweet spices, cinnamon, tobacco, and chocolate. A wine of great structure, it is rich, rounded, soft, and velvety. Powerful yet elegant style showing lots of ripe baked red fruits. Full-bodied with firm, structured tannins. Warm on the palate, with very long finish.
