Ca’ del Sette’s Amante Rosso Veronese is a deeply expressive Italian red crafted in the heart of Veneto, the home of Amarone, Valpolicella and some of Italy’s most characterful reds. This wine is designed for those who enjoy rich, smooth, fruit-forward reds with a touch of Italian elegance.
Origin & Style
The wine comes from the Rosso Veronese IGT area in north-eastern Italy, just outside the historic city of Verona. Warm days, cool nights and mineral-rich soils give the grapes excellent ripeness while preserving freshness. Ca’ del Sette is known locally for producing approachable, flavour-driven wines that offer superb value — Amante follows that tradition perfectly.
Grape Blend & Winemaking
Amante is made from a classic northern Italian combination of Merlot, Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon.
-
Merlot brings softness, plums and silky texture.
-
Corvina — the signature grape of Verona — adds cherry, spice and a touch of perfume.
-
Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone, darker fruit and a refined tannic structure.
The result is a modern, polished red with depth and character. Alcohol sits at 13.5% vol, giving warmth without feeling heavy. The wine contains sulphites, as is standard for quality Italian reds.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep ruby with youthful purple edges.
Aromas: Ripe cherries, blackberries, red plum and hints of dark chocolate, liquorice and sweet spice.
Palate: Smooth, full and generous. You’ll find juicy red fruits up front followed by darker berry flavours, cocoa, subtle oak-like spice and soft, lingering tannins. Many reviewers highlight its “intense and persistent fruit” and the finish of cherry and chocolate that makes it feel indulgent but balanced.
Food Pairing
Amante is incredibly versatile with food, especially British comfort dishes and Italian classics. It pairs beautifully with:
-
Grilled or pan-seared sirloin or ribeye steak
-
Lamb dishes, from Sunday roasts to slow-cooked shoulder
-
Rich pasta ragù, lasagne or baked pasta dishes
-
Game meats such as venison or wild boar
-
Mature cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino
It’s the kind of red that works brilliantly at the dinner table, offering enough structure to stand up to bold flavours but enough softness to enjoy on its own.
Serving Advice
Serve at 16–18°C. A quick 30-minute decant helps the fruit open up and softens the tannins. If storing, keep bottles lying down in a cool, dark place and enjoy within the next 4–6 years.
Why It Appeals to UK Drinkers
Amante combines recognisable international grapes with classic Veronese character, making it ideal for those who enjoy full-bodied reds without the heaviness of oak-driven styles. It feels modern, fruity and smooth — an excellent option for steak nights, pasta dishes or relaxed evening drinking.
