Wine pairing notes

This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG has high tannins and a good acidity that balance the fatty sensation of the duck meat. On the other hand, the sweetness of the duck skin is enhanced by the jammy aromas of the wine characterized by dark cherries and blueberries.

The long lasting finish of the wine, dominated by black spices notes, helps to retain the sweet aroma of the duck meat that gently lingers in the mouth.
