When you hear the name Lamborghini, your brain doesn’t think car. It thinks force. Obsession. Detail. Fire in the engine and craft in the steering wheel. Lamborghini is not transportation. It’s an experience. It’s 200 miles per hour of Italian precision.
The same can now be said of a wine. One wine. From a tiny vineyard 850 feet above sea level in the Valpolicella. It's called the Ugolini Valle Alta Amarone. And if Lamborghini had a winery, this would be it.
Built on Details, Like a Lamborghini
Lamborghinis aren’t slapped together on a conveyor belt. They're carved. One detail at a time. Stitch by stitch. Bolt by bolt. It’s artistry at 8,000 RPM. The same philosophy powers Ugolini’s Valle Alta Amarone. From hand-harvested Corvina grapes to the volcanic Prun stone soil, every detail is dialed in. Every cluster of grapes is selected. Not once, but twice. Every bottle is individually numbered.
This is the difference between mass production and mastery. Between a car with a logo and one that makes your heart race. Between an Amarone that fills a shelf and one that fills you with awe.
The Vineyard That Hangs Like a Supercar on a Curve
The Valle Alta vineyard is no ordinary plot of land. It hangs on a ridge, absorbing heat by day, chilling by night. These thermal excursions create natural complexity in the grapes. The steep slope forces roots to dig deep into the ancient sea fossil soil known as Prun Stone. This vineyard is more than scenic. It’s functional, primal, and impossibly rare.
Prun Stone is to wine what carbon fiber is to supercars: lightweight, powerful, and engineered by nature for performance. It gives the Amarone minerality, elegance, and freshness. The kind of clarity you get in a Lamborghini when you floor the gas and everything else goes silent.
Ten Years of Patience, A Lifetime of Pleasure
You don’t rush a masterpiece. Lamborghini doesn’t. Ugolini doesn’t. The Valle Alta Amarone spends 3 years aging in custom French barrique and large oak casks. Then it rests for 7 more in Venetian glass bottles. Ten years of refinement before it ever sees your glass.
What other wine shows up at your door already aged a decade, in its prime, singing with the voice of time? It pours like velvet and finishes like fireworks. Aromas of amarena cherry, dried fig, tobacco, sandalwood, and cacao swirl in your glass. One sip and the wine speaks to you. The next sip tells a different story. It evolves as you do.
Power Without Bulk. Strength Without Sacrifice.
At 16.5% alcohol, this wine is powerful. But never overpowering. Thanks to its massive dry extract—33 grams per liter—its strength is integrated. Balanced. The body is chiseled like a Michelangelo sculpture. Full, yet clean. Strong, yet refined.
This isn’t raisiny or cloying like industrial Amarones. It’s dry. Less than 1 gram of sugar. It finishes crisp, exacting, pure. It moves through your palate like a Lamborghini through hairpin turns.
A New Standard for Amarone
You might think you don’t like Amarone. Many don’t. Too strong. Too sweet. Too much.
But this Amarone is different. The Valle Alta Amarone is turning skeptics into fans and fans into believers. It’s complex without being complicated. Powerful without being punishing. It doesn’t just taste good. It feels good.
Just like a Lamborghini doesn’t just drive fast. It thrills.
Not Mass-Produced. Crafted.
Only 3,233 bottles of Valle Alta 2011 were made. That's fewer than the number of Aventadors built each year. Each bottle is a tribute to the soil, the sun, the tradition, and the risk Giambattista Ugolini took when he tore out his father's vineyards to pursue perfection.
It took him 25 years to make this wine. You get to open it in 25 seconds.
And the moment you do, you’ll understand what the Italians already know: this is not a wine. This is a creation.
For Those Who Don’t Settle
Whether you’re a car collector, a wine lover, or someone who simply refuses to settle for ordinary, this is your Amarone. A wine that pairs with roasted lamb, bold cheeses, or a long, quiet night. A wine that passes the "next day test" with flying colors—better, deeper, smoother 24 hours after opening.
If you love Lamborghini, you already understand what this Amarone is. It’s detail. It’s design. It’s defiance.
The Ugolini Valle Alta is the Lamborghini of Amarone.
Drink it now. Age it for decades. But don’t miss the ride.
