2013 Ca' Botta 'Pian di Mezzo' – The Essence of Verona
Experience a masterpiece from Ca' Botta with the 2013 Pian di Mezzo. This wine is an homage to the hills of Verona and utilizes the traditional technique of Appassimento (drying the grapes) to achieve an intensity and structure typically only found in great Amarones. After over a decade of aging, this vintage now presents itself in its full glory.
Craftsmanship & Concentration
Ca' Botta is renowned for its dense, extracted wines. Through careful grape selection and subsequent drying, a wine is created that combines power with an almost silky elegance. The 2013 vintage shows a wonderful balance between primary fruit and the noble aged notes from barrel aging.
The Taste Profile:
-
Aroma: A profound bouquet of black cherries, blackberry jam, and dried plums, underpinned by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a hint of noble spices.
-
On the Palate: Enormously full-bodied and complex. The velvety tannins are perfectly integrated into the powerful body. An interplay of sweetness and power that culminates in a long-lasting, spicy finish.
-
Style: A classic "Vino da Meditazione" – a wine for contemplation and enjoyment.
Culinary Pairing:
A wine of this stature demands worthy partners:
-
Meat Dishes: Ideal with braised beef (Brasato), game dishes, or leg of lamb with a herb crust.
-
Cheese: Excellent with aged Parmesan or spicy blue cheese.
-
Tip: We recommend decanting the wine approx. 1–2 hours before serving to allow it to fully develop its aromatic breadth.
