Ciliegio is La Collina dei Ciliegi's Amarone selection, named for the cherry tree, il ciliegio, behind the estate's name. The grapes are Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella from high Valpantena vineyards; they dry for around 100 days, losing roughly 40% of their weight, then ferment with a 30 day maceration before 36 months in new French barriques and tonneaux and a further 8 months in bottle. The 2018 carries its 15.5% with composure.
The glass is deep bright garnet, full of cherries in spirit, plum preserve, sweet spice and cocoa, powerful but fluid with rounded, smooth tannins. It is open now and built for a long life. Decant it for an hour and serve at 18 °C with braised beef, game birds, risotto all'Amarone or aged Monte Veronese; a Venetian would set it beside fegato alla veneziana and be well served indeed.

Venetian Wine
Veneto is in North Eastern Italy and is a high producing, multi-faceted wine region that does several different wine varieties well.
In whites you have the indigenous grape, Garganega, which is the main grape in Soave wines. Today you can find great value Soave wine but also producers focussing on low yield, high quality winemaking in the original Soave zone called Soave Classico. Wines made here are complex, exhibiting flavours such as ripe pear, yellow peach, melon or orange zest and have smoky and floral aromas with a fresh mineral finish. Much of Italy’s famous crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio also comes from this region.
In red wines, Valpolicella is the most notable. This uniquely Italian wine is made from a blend of Italian grapes, predominantly Corvina with a minority of Rondinella, Molinara, Corvinone and other indigenous varietals. Valpolicella is made in a wide variety of styles. On one hand, you have light-bodied wines resembling Beaujolais Nouveau with a sour cherry flavour, alcohol content often around 11%. On the other hand, you have full bodied Recioto (desert red wine) and Amarone (dry red) that reach 15-16% alcohol. Both of these heavier wine styles have achieved DOCG status. Amarone is rich and intense with flavour and aroma notes often compared with Port.
Prosecco which has been quite a popular sparkling wine variety in Australia in recent times also comes from the Veneto wine region.
