The Making of a

Conte Gastone Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Massimago

Crafted from the classic Venetian grape varietals – Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella – the Conte Gastone Amarone is a product of meticulous winemaking. The grapes are cultivated in the Mezzane di Sotto vineyards, where they benefit from an altitude of 180 meters and a terroir composed primarily of marl and clay.

The winemaking process begins with the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are carefully dried for three months. This concentration of flavors and sugars is essential to the Amarone style. Following this, the grapes undergo a cold maceration before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for a total of 24 months in both French oak barriques and tonneaux, a process that imparts complexity and elegance.

A Sensory Experience

The Conte Gastone Amarone presents a visually striking deep ruby hue with subtle garnet reflections. Its aromatic profile is a captivating dance of dried fruits, with notes of cherry and plum taking center stage. A subtle spice undertone, reminiscent of pepper and clove, adds depth and intrigue.

On the palate, the wine is a symphony of richness and opulence. The velvety texture is balanced by a vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious interplay of flavors. The core of the wine is marked by a savory character that adds complexity and length to the finish. It’s a wine that invites contemplation, rewarding the drinker with new layers of flavor with each sip.

A Wine for All Seasons

The versatility of the Conte Gastone Amarone is one of its greatest strengths. While it shines when paired with rich, hearty dishes like roasted red meats or game, it also complements lighter fare such as pasta with truffle sauce. Its complex flavor profile makes it an intriguing companion to a variety of cheeses, from aged Parmigiano Reggiano to creamy Gorgonzola.

Moreover, the wine’s ability to evolve in the bottle makes it an excellent choice for cellaring. With careful storage, the Conte Gastone Amarone can develop additional layers of complexity and nuance, offering a rewarding experience for those who appreciate the art of patience.

Conclusion

Massimago’s Conte Gastone Amarone is a wine that leaves a lasting impression. It’s a testament to the passion and expertise of the winemakers, and a true representation of the Amarone style. Whether you’re an experienced wine connoisseur or simply seeking a new and exciting taste experience, this wine is sure to delight.
