It is made from typical local grapes—Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—sourced from selected vineyards cultivated with respect for the environment.\nThis is a full-bodied and well-structured wine, smooth yet powerful, representing the most authentic soul of Amarone: elegance, aromatic depth, and warm, enveloping notes that make it a meditation wine or a suitable pairing for important dishes.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2011 vintage is remembered as balanced and favorable, with a regular summer and a dry September that allowed the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness. The harvest took place between late September and early October, selecting only the best, healthy, and perfectly ripe bunches.\nDuring the appassimento—the phase where the grapes are naturally dehydrated to concentrate sugars and aromas—a dense and rich raw material was obtained, an ideal base for a refined and harmonious Amarone.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter about three months of appassimento in a drying loft, the vinification of \u003cstrong\u003eMorar 2011\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place in January. Fermentation is slow, at a controlled temperature, to preserve complexity and aromatic depth.\nThis is followed by long aging in wooden barrels for a period between 33 and 36 months, a phase in which the wine gains elegance, softness, and characteristic spicy notes. After aging in wood, the wine rests for another six months in the bottle, achieving a remarkably fine gustatory balance.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, the \u003cstrong\u003eAmarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG “Morar” 2011 - Valentina Cubi\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a deep garnet red, with dark ruby reflections that testify to its maturity and concentration.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe nose is intense and complex: aromas of ripe black cherry, dried plum, hints of cocoa, sweet spices, and tobacco emerge. With aeration, it opens up to balsamic and slightly ethereal notes, revealing the great evolution acquired during aging.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate, it is enveloping and soft, supported by silky tannins and a balanced freshness that balances the alcoholic richness. The structure is imposing yet harmonious, with a long finish that leaves notes of dried fruit, licorice, and spices in the mouth.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood pairings for Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG “Morar” 2011 - Valentina Cubi\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis Amarone is perfect for accompanying important and flavorful dishes.
