Speri Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2016 is an exceptional, benchmark vintage from the historic Speri family estate, produced in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone. Widely regarded as one of the finest Amarone vintages of the decade, 2016 delivers outstanding concentration, balance, and ageing potential.
Crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where hand-harvested grapes are carefully air-dried before fermentation, this Amarone expresses remarkable depth while maintaining elegance and freshness—a hallmark of Speri’s style.
