Santa Sofia Amarone - De Divino Palladio 2003, crafted in Italy’s Veneto, is a Corvina-driven blend from a balanced vintage, sourced from the estate’s limestone and clay terroir in Valpolicella. Using the appassimento method, the grapes are dried to concentrate flavors, revealing a bouquet of evolved black cherry, cassis, and fig, with notes of chocolate, spice, and leather, accented by hints of minerality. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with soft tannins and balanced acidity supporting the rich fruit. Aged in Slavonian oak casks, this wine reflects Santa Sofia’s traditional winemaking, delivering a long, refined finish with notable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with braised meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate, it is a collector’s gem, embodying Amarone’s iconic terroir and offering a luxurious drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a mature red. Its depth and richness make it a standout from the 2003 vintage.
