Intense garnet red colour with an almost black core - a visual promise of the concentration that this Amarone brings. The density in the glass already reveals the months of drying of the grapes.<\/p>\n
Opulent and multi-layered: black cherries and preserved blackberries dominate, accompanied by figs, dates and a seductive blend of dark chocolate and espresso. Roasted rosemary adds Mediterranean flavour. Despite its richness, the wine remains surprisingly fresh, with a mineral undercurrent that promises elegance.<\/p>\n
This is where the true class of this Amarone is revealed: the intense, almost sweetish fruit concentration is perfectly balanced by a lively acid structure and fine-grained tannins. No bulky heaviness, but finesse and playfulness. The 42 to 50 months of ageing in French oak have given the wine depth and complexity without dominating it. The finish is long, warm and spicy - the 16% alcohol is perfectly integrated.<\/p>\n
The Fidora winery produces this classic Amarone from 65% Corvina, 25% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella from limestone arches at an altitude of 220-300 metres near Illasi. The traditional appassimento method - three to four months of drying on wooden racks - concentrates the grapes to 50-60% of their original weight. Vinification begins in January, followed by an impressive maturation of almost four years in wood plus one year of bottle ageing.<\/p>\n
A wine for the cold season and powerful flavours: Osso buco with figgy red cabbage and porcini risotto<\/strong>, Roast goose with cranberries, walnuts and thyme<\/strong> or Stews<\/strong> of every kind. The brave can also Gorgonzola tartlet with dark chocolate and cassis<\/strong> try it - the sweetness of the wine harmonises surprisingly well with this combination.<\/p>\n What characterises this Monte Tabor: It epitomises the modern Amarone style, which combines power with elegance. Not an alcoholic colossus, but a balanced, easy-drinking wine with depth. Already accessible now, it will develop further facets over the next 10-15 years.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Special features<\/h3>\n
