Luigi Righetti Amarone Capitel del Roari, 2019

The 2019 Capitel de Roari Amarone is a bold, concentrated red with intense aromas of dried cherry, fig, dark chocolate, and warm spice. Hints of tobacco, leather, and crushed herbs emerge with time in the glass. On the palate, it's full-bodied and velvety, with rich layers of dried fruit, sweet oak, and cocoa supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long, warming, powerful and refined.

Crafted from hand-harvested Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, the wine undergoes traditional appassimento - grape drying - for several months to intensify flavour and texture. Luigi Righetti ages the wine in a combination of Slavonian and French oak, marrying richness with structure. The 2019 vintage is robust and expressive, ideal for hearty dishes or slow contemplation, and will age gracefully for up to a decade.
