It ended with great enjoyment and satisfaction of the selected participants the first masterclass that DoctorWine organized in Milan in the newly established "house of wine" in Milan, dedicated to Amarone della Valpolicella.
Yesterday’s opening night was entrusted to the capable hands of Livia Belardelli, longtime DoctorWine contributor, AIS MasterClass sommelier and flavor coach in events dedicated to sensory exploration. Starring Amarone della Valpolicella, one of the iconic wines of our oenology.
These wines tasted:
- Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2017
- Bolla Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Le Origini 2016
- Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella Maternigo 2016
- Tenuta Sant’Antonio Amarone della Valpolicella Tèlos di Famiglia Castagnedi 2015
- Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva 2013
- Terre di Leone Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2012
- Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2012
- Villabella Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Fracastoro 2011
- Le Guaite di Noemi Amarone della Valpolicella 2010
- Speri Recioto della Valpolicella La Roggia 2019
The differences between the various expressions of Amarone were clear from the tasting, some decidedly more modern than others, with a more contemporary style even in light of the climate change that demands it with more moderate withering and more dynamic sips.
In addition, the unfortunate presence of a bottle that tasted like a cork allowed for stimulating reasoning about the world of corks, with an interesting educational development as well.
