About This Wine
Borsari Amarone della Valpolicella is a rich and full-bodied Italian red wine produced using the traditional appassimento method in the Valpolicella region of northern Italy. Available for wine online Ireland, this powerful Amarone combines concentrated dark fruit, dried berry character, warming spice, and velvety texture while maintaining remarkable balance and elegance throughout. Fans of premium Italian wine can discover more in our Red Wine collection, featuring standout wine from Italy and around the world.
Produced from partially dried grapes, Amarone develops significantly greater concentration and flavour intensity than standard red wine styles. The drying process reduces water content within the grapes, intensifying sugar, flavour, and structure before fermentation even begins.
Borsari Amarone della Valpolicella delivers layered notes of black cherry, plum, fig, raisin, dark chocolate, sweet spice, tobacco, and subtle oak influence. The higher alcohol content and concentrated fruit create a warming and luxurious wine with a velvety mouthfeel and long finish.
Despite its richness and power, the wine maintains excellent structure and balance thanks to fresh acidity and smooth integrated tannins. Unlike lighter red wine styles, Amarone offers remarkable depth and intensity while still remaining elegant and highly drinkable.
The result is a bold and sophisticated Italian wine that showcases why Amarone della Valpolicella remains one of the most respected and distinctive wine styles in the world.
