Villabella Fracastoro Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG 2013 is a distinguished expression of Italy’s renowned Valpolicella region, crafted exclusively in the finest vintages to ensure exceptional quality and complexity. This premium Amarone is a masterful blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes, meticulously selected and dried to concentrate flavors, resulting in a rich and powerful wine with remarkable depth.

Named in honor of Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553), a celebrated doctor, philosopher, and poet from Incaffi near Lake Garda, this Riserva pays tribute to his literary contributions on wine and reflects the heritage and tradition of the region. The 2013 vintage showcases the unique terroir of Valpolicella Classico, known for its rolling hills and ideal microclimate that nurtures these indigenous grape varieties to full ripeness.

This Amarone Riserva captivates with intense aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, dried figs, and hints of spice and leather, balanced by velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. The wine’s robust structure and elegant complexity make it a perfect companion for hearty dishes such as aged cheeses, game, and rich meats.

Produced under the strict DOCG regulations, Villabella Fracastoro Amarone embodies the pinnacle of Italian winemaking craftsmanship. Its limited production and dedication to excellence make it a sought-after choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Discover the bold character and refined elegance of this exceptional Amarone, a true testament to the tradition and passion of Valpolicella’s winemakers.

Reviews

Medium-bodied red with orangey-garnet tints. The nose is smoky, ashy and spicy, with an abundance of wild plants and stewed fruit. Very mature on the palate, in terms of aroma, structure, tannins and ageing. Superb.
Dark, bright, rich dark ruby. Very fruity on the nose, very open-hearted, accessible, floral and clear, with hints of juicy raspberries and lots of citrus fruit, fine mint on the finish. Noble and medium-bodied on the palate, clear fruit here too, brisk, with beautiful acidity, drinks very well. Further bottle ageing has done it good.
