Why You'll Love It
Amarone has a reputation for being rich, bold and powerful. This certainly has the richness, but its beautifully balanced by a marked freshness running through the wine.

Classic flavours of black cherry, plum and dried fig are wrapped up with dark chocolate, espresso, cinnamon and sweet baking spices. On the palate is a savoury bitterness and bright acidity, keeping everything fresh. The tannins are velvety and the finish is eternal.

This is a wine worth making an occasion for. Think braised beef, venison, aged Parmesan or a perfectly cooked rib of beef.
About The Producer
Cà dei Maghi is a small family estate in Fumane, at the heart of Valpolicella Classico. The family has worked these hills for generations, with the modern winery taking shape in the 1950s; since 2011 Paolo Creazzi has brought renewed focus and precision to its wines. Working with only a few hectares of vines, he favours careful hand harvesting, traditional local grapes and patient maturation over volume. The range spans fresh Valpolicella, richly textured Ripasso and seriously accomplished Amarone and Recioto. The Camparsi vineyard and the estate's classic pergola-trained vines help give the wines an unmistakable sense of place. They are characterful, nuanced reds that combine the generosity of Valpolicella with freshness, savoury detail and the ability to develop gracefully in bottle.
Winemaking Information
Camparsi is produced using the traditional appassimento method, where carefully selected grapes are laid out to dry for around 100 days, concentrating their sugars, flavours and aromas before fermentation. Once the desired concentration is reached, the grapes are gently crushed and undergo a long maceration to extract colour, flavour and silky tannins. The wine is then matured in oak before extended bottle ageing, allowing the rich fruit, spice and savoury complexity to knit together into a beautifully balanced Amarone.
