Amarone Adalia 2008 75cl

An intense and powerful expression of this Veronese classic made from naturally air-dried grapes.

A range of classic wines from the second label of Corte Sant’Alda, one of the top-flight producers of Valpolicella and Amarone. The Adalia brand name is derived from Adalia bipunctata, the ladybird, which is one of the main biological methods used by Corte Sant’Alda to control aphids in the vineyard.

The winemaking at Adalia is overseen by Marinella’s daughter who follows a policy of minimal intervention. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal maturity and then vinified in stainless steel to preserve the natural fruit flavours. It is designed for early consumption whilst the vibrant character is at its peak.
