Hatteso Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva 2012

Hatteso 2012 is Garbole’s flagship Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva, crafted from meticulously selected Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grown on the rocky hills of eastern Valpolicella. The grapes are dried for months in traditional fruttai, intensifying sugars and flavours before a slow, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then spends many years in oak – various sources mention around five to six years – followed by bottle ageing, creating a dense, almost port-like texture without losing freshness. In the glass you’ll find rich notes of plum and cherry jam, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, sweet vanilla, toasted nuts and a touch of fresh mint, carried by a full-bodied, warm and velvety palate with a very long, enveloping finish.
