Cantine di Ora Amicone 2018 is produced from mostly dried Corvina grapes done in the Amarone style but for a shorter period of time. The wine juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged up to eight months in French oak barrels. This is a dry, medium-plus-bodied and plushy red with lots of ripe red berry, dark cherry, vanilla, smoky oak spice and chocolate flavours with rich dark cherry on the finish. An excellent value Veneto red at $19.
Food pairings: roast duck, roast Mediterranean chicken with olives and grapes, Bistecca Florentine.
