About the wine
Discover the powerhouse, flagship red wine of northern Italy
- It’s time you tried one of northern Italy’s most prestigious red wines – Amarone della Valpolicella! This iconic red is world-famous for its signature refined, dried fruit character, big backbone of toasty oak and velvety texture.
- Winemaker Mirko crafted this red in the historic appassimento style, using a traditional blend of specially dried grapes grown in the sweeping hills of the Valpolicella region, where his family's been making wines for 3 generations.
- Amarone requires 2 years of special barrel-aging and Mirko aged this wine in his cellar nearly twice as long — this is an exquisite 2016 vintage of one of Italy’s most celebrated reds and your Angel-exclusive savings is the cherry on top!
Best before
You can drink this red now or age it a couple more years.
Serving advice
Try to open this powerful red at least an hour before serving it.
Food match
Grilled meat or cheese would be my go-to pairing for this red.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mirko Sella
Mirko Sella is a bona fide expert of northern Italy, specifically world-famous Valpolicella, where he’s the third generation to make wine from his family’s vineyards.
When Angels voted to bring on more Italian wines and fund a Ripasso (a Valpolicella specialty) — all roads led to Mirko! With 20 harvests in Valpolicella under his belt, he’s ready to share his wines on the world stage, thanks to you!
Mirko’s wines are regional classics made with sun-dried grapes hand-harvested from his family’s vineyards: a powerful, concentrated Valpolicella Amarone, and its bold ally, a fruity Valpolicella Ripasso.
