2019 Paolo Cottini Valpolicella Classico Corvina 60%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 10%
• 0.75 l • Rosso
Veneto - Italy
Shiny, clear, ruby red color. Seductive nose of blueberries, cherries, plums and other red and black fruit. Full but elegant and fresh mouthfeel. Nice balance between fruit and accompanying structure. Even in the medium long finish, this fine balance persists. Simplicity with style!

2017 Paolo Cottini Valpolicella Classico RIPASSO Superiore Corvina 60%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 10%
• 0.75 l • Rosso
Veneto - Italy
Nice, dark, ruby red color. Complex nose with lots of dark fruit, imposed cherries, black cherry, spices and notions of cocoa, tobacco and leather. In the mouth, however, it is slightly less intense and deep in taste than the Amarone. The final also has the characteristics of an Amarone but just a little less deep, intense and long. That is why he is sometimes called Baby Amarone.

2015 Paolo Cottini Castrum - Veronese Corvina 100%
• 0.75 l • Rosso
Veneto - Italy
Deep, dark, ruby red color. Lightly smoked nose with lots of forest fruits, black cherries, spices and a hint of cocoa, vanilla and graphite. Intense but soft and round in appearance. Remarkably rich finale that is perhaps a little less complex than the real Amarone but should not be inferior to class and length.
2015 Paolo Cottini AMARONE della Valpolicella Classico Corvina 55%, Corvinone 35%, Rondinella 10%
• 0.75 l • Rosso
Veneto - Italy
Nice, dark, ruby red color. Deep aromas of black fruit, imposed cherries, black cherries, leather, cocoa, chocolate and a hint of spices. On the palate it comes across as more intense than a classic red wine and has a sweeter flavor. However, the final is dry, even slightly bitter and endlessly long. His intense character and high complexity in all respects makes him very suitable for aging. Patience in this can be spectacularly rewarded!
