2020 Cantina di Negrar Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
Cantina di Negrar Amarone is a powerful, full-bodied Italian red made using the traditional appassimento method, delivering intense concentration, richness and a velvety, structured palate.
This is a wine built for slow drinking — deep, warming and layered with complexity.
My Wine Man
This is for someone who enjoys bold, expressive reds with real weight and presence.
If you like wines that feel rich, luxurious and made for sipping rather than rushing, this is a classic Amarone experience.
What makes this wine stand out
This is all about intensity and texture.
Made from partially dried grapes, it shows concentrated flavours of dark cherry, ripe plum and dried fruit, layered with spice and subtle floral lift.
The key is the balance — despite its power, the tannins are smooth and velvety, giving the wine a polished, rounded feel that carries through a long, warming finish.
Style / drinking window
Full-bodied with dark cherry, plum, dried fruit and spice.
Velvety tannins and firm structure provide richness, length and warmth.
Drinking beautifully now with decanting, or cellared for further development over time.
Food Pairing
A full-bodied Amarone of this scale and velvety power deserves a cut that commands the same attention. We love it with Cape Grim Grass-Fed Tomahawk Steak from My Meat Man — the sheer scale, deep grass-fed flavour and primal long-bone presentation of a tomahawk are a worthy match for the Amarone's dark cherry, dried fruit and warming, velvety finish. Equally good with braised beef, osso buco, aged hard cheese or dark chocolate.
Why this is a smart buy
If you want a classic Amarone that delivers depth, richness and a smooth, luxurious texture, this is a strong choice.
Ideal for slow drinking, special occasions or pairing with rich, hearty food.
