About the wine
Talk about precise perfection. More than 20 years ago, Monte Zovo’s Cottini Family created a method to produce this harmonious, elegant and complex Amarone della Valpolicella – a method that relies on an accurate production protocol and long aging. The perfection of their Amarone results in a wine with an intense, stylish personality and a sturdy, harmonious body. Monte Zovo Amarone is imposing with a generous heart and complex fragrances, emanating a wealth of nuances and sensations. Made from the finest grapes and oh-so-carefully hand-crafted with the help of world-renowned winemaker Riccardo Cotarella, the wine is velvety smooth and makes for the perfect pour in the glass for important occasions.

When it comes to Amarone, the concentration and mouthfeel is irresistible—and Villa Mattielli’s is second to none, with Decanter Awards and critic scores to back it up.
Made from the ancient technique of drying grapes to intensify the flavors and aromas of native Italian grapes, the ‘13 Matielli combines superlative chocolate and black cherry nose with kirsch, cocoa powder and a touch of anise and herbs joining the palate. Anything but your average red, this Amarone is ready to rock your world, trust us.

Now a 4th-generation family venture, Villa Mattielli has the history and know-how to craft exquisite wines, and the ‘13 release proves it with unmatched flavors of ripe, dried and candied fruit, sweet baking spice, and a finish that lingers for days. Dedicated to the vineyards above all else, Mattielli’s wines showcase Valpolicella’s soils and history like no other, with structure to age. A game-changer in Valpolicella, this is a can’t-miss red.
