Description

1977 Amarone della Valpolicella – Montresor

The 1977 vintage in northern Italy produced structured and traditionally styled wines, favouring balance and steady evolution. Montresor, founded in the late 19th century and long established in Verona, is recognised for its classical approach to Valpolicella wines, including Amarone crafted using the traditional appassimento method of drying grapes before fermentation. This bottle reflects an era when Amarone was defined by extended ageing and patience in the cellar.

Tasting Notes:
Now deep mahogany in colour with amber highlights at the rim, the nose is richly evolved and complex. Aromas of dried cherry, fig and prune are layered with notes of leather, tobacco leaf and polished wood. With time in the glass, hints of cocoa, espresso and warm spice emerge, adding depth and character. On the palate it is full-bodied yet harmonious, with softened tannins and a velvety texture shaped by decades of maturation. Flavours of dried dark fruits, bittersweet chocolate and gentle balsamic tones unfold gradually, leading to a long, warming and elegant finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Decant carefully to remove any natural sediment and allow the wine to open slowly before serving. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature. A fine companion to slow-braised meats, game dishes, aged hard cheeses or simply savoured on its own.

Summary:
A mature and characterful Amarone from a historic Veronese producer, the 1977 Montresor offers depth, richness and the distinctive complexity that extended ageing brings to this iconic Venetian style.
