The Guardian of Noemi Solitario 2011

Experience a remarkable fusion of Amarone and Recioto from Noemi. This sophisticated red wine is made up of 35% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 35% Corvinone and 10% Oseletta and Croatina. The grapes are carefully handpicked from vineyards in Mezzane di Sopra, Valpolicella, and undergo a 3½ month drying process. The wine is then aged for 54 months in new French oak barrels and a further 30 months in bottle.

The wine presents a deep garnet red color and offers aromas of black and blue berries, plums, vanilla, chocolate, mocha and pepper. The taste is soft with a sweet character that highlights notes of berries, balsamic, vanilla and spices. The aftertaste is long and persistent.

Best served at 14-16 degrees. Ideal with mature cheeses, chocolate desserts or as a wine for meditation. It is recommended to decant the wine an hour before serving.

Solitario combines the intense flavor of Amarone with the sweetness of Recioto, but is not as sweet as a dessert wine. A unique wine experience with 21.2g of residual sugar per liter.
