A polished, modern Amarone style, the Cesari Amarone Classico 2019 opens with an inviting bouquet of roasted spices, tobacco, leather and coffee, layered over notes of dried cherry and red currant . On the palate, it is full-bodied yet refined, showing plum and blackberry richness that builds into a savory, elegant finish with impressive persistence, favouring balance and finesse over sheer weight . Subtle undertones of liquorice, light oak and smoky complexity add depth, while the tannins remain smooth and integrated, giving the wine a warm, rounded and highly drinkable profile . Ideal with slow-braised beef, roasted lamb, game meats or rich stews, where the wine’s depth and warmth complement savoury intensity. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino) or enjoyed on its own as a contemplative, after-dinner wine.
