Tasting Notes
A rich, full-bodied Amarone-style red with complex flavours of dark cherry, plum, raisin, and chocolate, backed by noticeable tannins and oak. Not a light quaffer — this is a serious wine best suited to hearty meals or slow, contemplative sipping.
Brewer’s Tip: Age This One
The kit is technically ready in 4–6 weeks, but Amarone really benefits from time. Give it a minimum of 6 months in the bottle — ideally 12 months or longer. The tannins mellow, the flavours integrate, and the complexity deepens considerably. Store somewhere cool, dark, and stable while it ages. Patience is rewarded.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this kit difficult to make?
- Not if you’ve made a kit wine before. The instructions are straightforward — the main challenge is having the patience to age it properly.
- Does this kit include grape skins?
- No — this version uses 10L of high-quality concentrate rather than grape skins. The complexity comes from the premium juice and oak.
- How long should I age it?
- Minimum 6 months after bottling, but 12–18 months is much better. It smooths the tannins and develops richer, more integrated flavours.
- What food pairs well with Amarone?
- Rich, savoury dishes work best — braised meats, stews, strong cheeses (Parmesan, aged Pecorino), game, or a good steak.
