What’s in the case
- Tommasi Amarone Valpolicella (€51.00): From the historic Tommasi family estate (founded 1902). Made from dried grapes, it is powerful yet elegant, with plum, raisin, dark chocolate and a fresh cherry finish.
- Zenato Ripassa delle Valpolicella (€31.00): Zenato’s Ripassa is refermented on the skins of Amarone grapes for extra depth: silky dark cherry, dark chocolate and a long, rounded finish.
- Burgo Viejo Finca Vidales Licenciado Reserva (€28.00): A Rioja Reserva from the Burgo Viejo Finca Vidales estate, carefully aged in oak for depth, spice and smooth, ripe fruit.
- CONDE VALDEMAR GRAN RESERVA (€22.00): Rioja Gran Reserva of Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo with cloves, black pepper and cedar, and a creamy, spicy, long palate.
- The Chocolate Block (€32.00): The cult Syrah-led blend from Boekenhoutskloof in South Africa: perfumed dark berries, violets and white pepper on an opulent, structured palate.
- Punto Final Malbec (€20.00): From Bodega Renacer in Mendoza: deep violet, with floral violet and rose notes and generous blackcurrant fruit.
Italy meets Rioja: two tastings in one case
Open the Zenato Ripassa and the Tommasi Amarone side by side to taste how the Valpolicella gets richer and deeper when the grapes are dried. Then compare the Licenciado Reserva with the Conde Valdemar Gran Reserva to see what extra years in barrel bring to Rioja. It is a fun tasting to share with friends over the holidays.
Food pairing
These are wines for hearty winter food: roast beef, lamb shank, beef and Guinness stew, venison, game pie, steak, aged cheeses and dark chocolate. The Amarone also shines on its own after dinner. Serve at 16-18°C and open the Amarone and Gran Reserva an hour ahead.
The ideal gift for a red wine lover
