Tenute Ca' Botta Pian di Mezzo Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva DOCG 2015
90 Points - Decanter World Wine Awards. A serious, cellar-worthy Amarone Riserva from one of Valpolicella’s most meticulous producers. The 2015 Pian di Mezzo is made only in top vintages and aged longer than the standard Amarone, delivering greater depth, structure and composure. Powerful yet controlled, and despite the high alcohol, everything remains impressively integrated and balanced.
Wine Press Ratings
90 Points / Bronze Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards
"Dense, ripe, black jammy fruit with hints of vanilla on the nose and palate. Generous and warm mouthfeel with dry tannins and a pleasant finish."
Taste
Intense aromas of dried black cherry, fig and dark chocolate are layered with notes of sweet spice, tobacco and balsamic herbs. The palate is rich and concentrated, but finely shaped by polished tannins and fresh acidity, leading to a long, savoury finish. A complex, slow-burning Amarone Riserva built for extended ageing.
Vivino Rating: 4.3 (Dec 2025)
