About this wine
This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a powerful, dry red with the concentrated depth associated with Amarone. Corvina brings cherry and plum notes, while the drying of the grapes often adds raisin, cocoa and spice. The alcohol is clearly present, yet the fresh acidity keeps the wine lively; the precise balance may vary by vintage.

About Villa Borghetti
Villa Borghetti is a name associated with Valpolicella, the hilly wine region north of Verona. The Classico area is regarded as the historical heartland of the region and is best known for Corvina-based wines, including Amarone. Publicly verifiable detail on the exact vinification of this particular cuvée is limited, so this profile follows the regional Amarone style.
This profile was written by the Wijnfeld digital sommelier from generally known information about the producer, the region and the grapes. Details may vary by vintage. Published on 9 September 2026.
