Cesari 'Bosan' 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva

Amarone della Valpolicella is one of Italy's most iconic wines.  As with all Valpolicellas, the wine is a blend of the Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grape varieties.

To qualify as a Riserva wine, it must undergo a four-year ageing period beginning from 1 November of the vintage year.

This wine is from the Classico sub-region which is deemed to produce wines of particularly esteemed quality.
