Capitel Monte Olmi, an Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico Riserva. 

"If you like big Amarones, this one is big with a capital B. The most robust and powerful of the bunch." - Wine Advocate

James Suckling 95 Points!

 


"Very ripe morello cherries, dark plums, cigar box, kirsch and stemmy undertones, but also orange rind and plenty of floral elements. Full body, powerful and grainy tannins and a dense yet driven finish. Extremely pure fruit. This is always reserved and beautiful."

"If you like big Amarones, this one is big with a capital B. The most robust and powerful of the bunch, the 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Capitel Monte Olmi is also sophisticated and integrated, despite its huge alcohol content at 17%. I knew the alcohol was high, but I would have never guessed it was that high, and that speaks to the relative balance achieved here. It is sweet, robust and richly layered and textured in the mouth. This is a huge wine that will make you very happy, very fast.."

"Enticing aromas of scorched earth, cooking spice and mature dark-skinned berry emerge from the glass. The dense full-bodied palate offers steeped prune, licorice and black pepper alongside firm polished tannins."


- Wine Enthusiast Magazine


 

"Monte Olmi is the name of this vineyard, located at Pedemonte di Valpolicella in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The vineyard has a south-western exposure and is 2.5 hectares in size. It is laid out on terraces in order to ensure efficient draining in case of abundant rainfall. At the same time, the depth and the clay structure of the terrain serve to retain water during dry period.


30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta, Negrara, Dindarella, Croatina and Forselina. Grapes dried in controlled humidity fruit storage structure for 4 months before fermentation. 


 

Aromas of crushed blackberries, spice and flowers combined with notes of Slavonia oak. Full-bodied, with peppery, berry character, medium tannins and a fine finish. The after-taste confirms the character of the bouquet. This wine has a long-lasting and persistent flavour."
