Bold. Refined. A modern Amarone with old-world soul.
Ca’ Botta “Cajo’” Amarone della Valpolicella is the essence of Venetian winemaking mastery — a bold, opulent red born from the sun-drenched hills of Marano di Valpolicella. Crafted through the traditional appassimento method, where Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes are gently dried for months, this Amarone develops extraordinary concentration and depth before being aged in oak barrels to perfection.
The result is a wine of remarkable intensity — layers of black cherry, dried plum, cocoa, and sweet spice intertwine with notes of tobacco and dark chocolate. Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, it combines velvety tannins with a long, warming finish that lingers like a fine memory. Every sip speaks of patience, tradition, and the quiet passion of Ca’ Botta’s hillside vineyards.
For Irish wine lovers, Cajo’ Amarone offers a taste of true Italian grandeur — a bottle that transforms ordinary evenings into celebrations. Whether served alongside roasted meats, mature cheeses, or simply enjoyed by the fire, this is a wine to savour slowly, with good company and time to appreciate its unfolding complexity.
Why we love it:
We love Ca’ Botta “Cajo’” Amarone for its depth, balance, and unmistakable character. It’s powerful without ever losing elegance, and its rich, layered palate captures everything that makes Amarone legendary. For Irish wine drinkers seeking a luxurious red to elevate their collection or impress at the table, Cajo’ delivers pure sophistication in every pour.
