Famiglia Cielo Amarone Della Valpolicella Centenero Red 75cl
AED 170.00
Big, brooding Amarone from Valpolicella that tastes like a winter dessert you don’t have to share. Think dried cherry, fig, cocoa, and a hit of espresso, wrapped in serious, chewy tannins that make steak, braised short rib, or aged cheese feel like the obvious move. It’s Italian red wine with depth and drama, the kind you open when you want the table to go quiet for a second.

This Amarone brings the full Valpolicella flex, rich fruit, dark spice, and that unmistakable dried-fruit intensity that makes Amarone feel like a special-occasion red even on a random Tuesday.
What makes it different is the style itself, Amarone is made using grapes that are dried before fermentation, so the flavours get deeper, darker, and more concentrated. You feel it right away, more weight, more layers, more “one more sip.”
- Appearance: Deep garnet ruby with slow, sticky legs that hint you’re in for something bold.
- Nose: Dried cherry and raisin lead, then baked plum, cocoa powder, espresso, and a little sweet spice.
- Taste: Concentrated dark fruit up front, think black cherry and fig, with chocolate, clove, and a savoury edge. Dry, with firm tannins and a warming alcohol glow.
- Body: Full-bodied and mouth-filling, built for slow sipping and big food.
- Finish: Long and drying, with lingering cocoa, dried fruit, and coffee.
If you want a red wine that can stand up to a proper meal, this is it. It loves rich, salty, fatty dishes, grilled meats, slow-cooked ragù, mushroom pasta, or a board loaded with aged cheese and cured meat. It’s also a solid “gift red” when you don’t know someone’s exact taste but you do know they like bold.
Amarone also plays a sneaky role in a lot of wine journeys. If you’re graduating from plush, fruit-forward reds into something more intense and structured, this is a fun next step because it’s powerful but still wildly drinkable.
Centenero is the kind of bottle you open when you want depth without homework. You don’t need tasting vocab, you just need a glass and a few minutes, it keeps unfolding.
Fun Fact: Amarone’s signature intensity comes from the appassimento method, where grapes are dried after harvest to concentrate sugars and flavour before they’re turned into wine.
