Not every night. But when the evening earns it.
On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.
Included with every bottle.

Why it's on our shelf
Amarone is not a wine you open casually. The grapes dry for 90 to 100 days before fermentation even begins — losing weight, concentrating everything. Fermentation takes another 30 to 40 days, with Daniele Damoli hand-mixing daily. Then 4 to 5 years in oak. The Checo 2018 is the result: dried plum, dark chocolate, coffee, balsamic, firm tannins, 15.5% alcohol, and decades of drinking ahead. A wine for the evenings that deserve it.
