Brigaldara Amarone
Small production Veneto reds, stocked in Commack for Long Island tables.
The story behind Brigaldara
Amarone is a Veneto red made from grapes dried for months before pressing, which concentrates sugar and flavor and gives the wine its deep color, dried cherry and fig character, and firm structure. Valpolicella is the lighter, fresher red from the same area and grape family, and it drinks well young with food.
We stock Brigaldara in small quantity at our Commack shop, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have. Call ahead and we will hold a bottle for you.
