With our first effort to hold this tasting postponed due to illness, we're delighted to restore it to the schedule, this time with the winemaker in attendance.
A special tasting exploring the age-worthy majesty of Amarone della Valpolicella - made from dried grapes to concentrate sugar, structure and flavour, it offers a contemplative intensity few wines can match. From a single biodynamically farmed vineyard, Corte Sant'Alda's top Amarone cuvee 'Mithas' is among the most majestic of all, with healthy grapes air-dried and painstakingly sorted by hand over months. It achieves a rare lift and drinkability for such a ripe, weighty, serious wine.
We'll be joined by the owner and winemaker, Marinella Camerani, along with Michael Palij MW, who will be guiding us through a staggering vertical of Mithas, tracing its evolution and development from 1995 to 2015, with a few other superb Corte Sant'Alda Valpolicellas thrown in for good measure. Don't miss it!
