2015 Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
Premium Cooperative Amarone from the Valpantena Valley — A Benchmark Vintage at an Exceptional Price
My Wine Man on Cantina Valpantena
Cantina Valpantena is one of the Veneto's most respected wine cooperatives — founded in Verona and drawing on growers across the Valpantena valley, a natural extension of the Valpolicella Classico zone that runs north from the city of Verona into the hills above.
The cooperative has built a strong reputation for producing Amarone of genuine quality and regional authenticity, with Torre del Falasco representing their premium expression — a wine made from the finest fruit of the harvest, dried for the traditional minimum of 90 days in the fruttai before fermentation and extended ageing in large oak casks.
The 2015 vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest Amarone vintages of the decade — a warm, generous year that produced wines of exceptional concentration, balance, and longevity. At HK$199, this is one of the most compelling value propositions in the Amarone category.
Tasting Notes
The 2015 Torre del Falasco Amarone is a wine of classic depth and Valpolicella character. Deep garnet-ruby in the glass, it opens with hallmark appassimento aromas — dried cherry, fig and dark plum — layered with dark chocolate, tobacco, leather and a whisper of dried violets.
On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and natural acidity that bring balance and structure. The 2015 vintage adds generosity and concentration, finishing long, warm and persistent — a wine of genuine substance and regional authenticity.
Food Pairing
A premium Amarone like this demands premium game. We love it with grass-fed lamb shanks from My Meat Man — slow-braised, the deep savoury richness complements the wine’s dark plum, leather and long finish beautifully. A pairing that does justice to both.
Why This Is a Smart Buy
At HK$199, the 2015 Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco is one of the most compelling value Amarones in the store — a full DOCG wine from a benchmark vintage, with nearly a decade of bottle age, at a price that is genuinely hard to match.
This is the entry point into serious Amarone — and it significantly over-delivers.
