Drunken Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

The Ubriaco d'Amore all'Amarone della Valpolicella cheese, created by La Casearia Carpenedo, is an authentic expression of the flavors of the Lessini mountains. Antonio Carpenedo has managed to create a unique bond with one of the oenological excellences of Verona and Italy: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.
This cheese, made with cow's milk, follows the same techniques used for Monte Veronese PDO. While still fresh, it is immersed in the grape pomace used for the drying process required to produce Amarone. After this process, the cheese matures for a period ranging from 8 to 19 months, becoming a true gastronomic rarity. During the aging process, the cheese absorbs the wine, allowing the aromas to penetrate centripetally towards the center. While evolving during the maturation, the cheese retains the distinctive notes of Amarone. Antonio Carpenedo has poured his passion for alpine milk, natural pastures, and Amarone into this exceptional creation. It is a tribute to the Venetian lands of Lessinia and Valpolicella, enclosed in a cheese that acts as a guardian of a rich variety of aromas and flavors.

Ingredients: Raw cow's MILK, salt, rennet, "Amarone della Valpolicella classico DOCG" wine in the paste and on the rind (min. 1.9%), grape pomace (min. 0.1%) on the rind.
