2016 | Nicolis Angelo | Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Deep dark ruby red which gradually turns into garnet. On the nose it is complex, harmonious, and elegant, with notes of dried fruit, jam, underbrush, walnut husk, and leather. The taste is balanced, rich, delicate, austere and long-lasting.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Pouring forth with a darkly concentrated appearance, the Nicolis 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico shows a savory side with chewing tobacco and cured leather. It also shows a sweet side with cooked cherry and blackberry preserves. The wine is extremely concentrated and heavy in texture. It concludes with a relatively contained 15% alcohol content.

• James Suckling: Lifted balsamic character to the baked blackberries, hot stones, dark cherries, black walnuts and dark chocolate here. Juicy and silky on the palate, with a svelte mid-palate that follows through to a generous, bittersweet finish.

Producer Information

Azienda Agricola Nicolis lies in San Pietro In Cariano, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. With 49 hectars (121 acres) of vineyards, Nicolis family has passed on the art of viticulture for generations. After years of wine production for family consumption, in 1951 Angelo Nicolis, together with his wife Natalia, began to invest in the company for a wider market. The care of the land is part of our everyday life, since our childhood. It’s a sensibility and dedication transmitted by the father Angelo, who converted his passion in sophisticated winemaking, and the mother Natalia, who has always been the point of reference of the entire family with her faith and dedication. Throughout the years the winery has been managed by two of eight children: Giancarlo with the attention for the vineyards, and Giuseppe, practicing genuine and fine winemaking. Today the winery business is driven by Giuseppe, who is passing on his two children – Angelo and Sofia – the art of producing elegant wine with respect of the environment.
