A brand of Collis Heritage, not an estate, made by Casa Vinicola Sartori
Sartori's entry Amarone under the Murari brand: black cherry, plum and dark chocolate, soft tannin and 15% alcohol from grapes dried on racks in Negrar. The dense 2022 is sold in the UK by Majestic alone, at about £27.

Sartori makes this Amarone in Negrar, where the house bought Villa Maria and its grape-drying racks in 1924. The 2022 is dense and generous: black cherry, plum and chocolate, 15% alcohol, soft tannin and a prune note from the drying.
Black cherry and plum lead, with dark chocolate and a dusting of pepper. The oak shows as vanilla, the note drinkers pick out most in this wine. Underneath sits the prune and raisin scent that weeks of drying the grapes on racks always leave.

ChocolateFull and smooth at 15% alcohol, with soft tannin and a warm, round middle. The 2022 was a drought year with heavy August rain, so the berries were small and thick-skinned, and the wine is dense and generous rather than fresh. It is rich and silky rather than sharp: an Amarone made to drink on release.
Long and warm, ending on chocolate, leather and dried fruit. The alcohol shows a little heat at the very end, the mark of the hot 2022 summer.
An entry Amarone from Sartori's cellar in Negrar, sold under the Murari name that Collis Heritage files as Murari 1899. Drink it from 2025 to 2032 with braised meat or an aged cheese; at about £27 it is a gentle first step into Amarone.
Majestic is the only UK shop we track that sells Murari Amarone, so there is no price spread to show. The 2022 is about £27 a bottle, and cheaper in any mixed six. Majestic tags it a Special Buy.
Value is its strongest card: a DOCG Amarone for about £27. Food and occasion follow, with slow braises, game and a winter cheese board.
About £27 for a DOCG Amarone that must age two years before sale. Fewer than one in twenty of the Amarone offers we list costs less, so this sits near the bottom of the Amarone price range.
Smooth, sweet-fruited and made as a first Amarone; the 15% alcohol is the only thing a newcomer must respect.
Amarone is the Veneto's grandest red, and the word on the label carries weight at a dinner. At about £27 it is an affordable way to put one on the table.
Full body, soft tannin and 15% alcohol suit slow braises, game and aged cheese, but the weight rules out fish, salads and anything with chilli.
A DOCG Amarone with two years' minimum ageing and 15% alcohol will keep to about 2032, but it is made to drink on release, not to improve for decades.
At 15% alcohol and about £27 this is a weekend or winter bottle, not a Tuesday one.

A compact view of what the Amarone della Valpolicella denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The 2022 season was a drought year with heat from May to July, then heavy rain in August that restarted ripening. Harvest came early, with small, thick-skinned berries that dried cleanly. Early tastings point to dense, generous Amarones with ageing potential; the year's rating is still provisional. We would drink the Murari between 2025 and 2032.

One of the great recent Valpolicella years. Warm, dry weather with timely rain gave a long, calm ripening, healthy grapes and thick skins for drying. Drink 2024 to 2032.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Amarone della Valpolicella is a DOCG. Corvina, alone or with Corvinone, must be 45 to 95 per cent of the blend, Rondinella 5 to 30, and the grapes dry on racks before pressing. The wine ages at least two years from the January after harvest and must reach 14% alcohol; Murari reaches 15%.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Amarone della Valpolicella is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Amarone della Valpolicella falls within Veneto, covering Verona. The denomination is further divided into 2 sub-zones.

Amarone grapes must dry for weeks before pressing, so each vine gives less wine; the hot, breezy 2022 autumn pushed the drying faster than usual.
The rules hold Amarone back for two years from the January after harvest, so the 2022 could not be sold before 2025; stock sits in Sartori's cellar and costs money.
Murari is a Collis Heritage brand, and the group bottles 40 million bottles a year for 70 countries; that scale is why an Amarone can sell for about £27.
Of a £27 bottle, about £7.90 is tax: £3.44 duty on a 75 cl bottle at 15% alcohol plus £4.50 VAT.
The one UK shop that sells it prices the 2022 at about £27 a bottle and lower in any mixed six, and tags it a Special Buy.
Murari carries no Classico or Riserva word, so it skips the four-year ageing a Riserva needs and the premium of the historic hills, where Sartori's Reius and Corte Brà sit.
Dishes that go with this wine
Murari's soft tannin, dried-fruit sweetness and 15% alcohol want food with weight: slow braises, venison, roast beef, blue cheese. Keep it away from chilli heat and delicate fish.
Murari's soft tannin and 15% warmth wrap around slow-cooked meat instead of fighting it. The dried-fruit sweetness in this Amarone della Valpolicella echoes the caramelised edges of a long braise, so both taste rounder. A medium red would vanish next to this food; a full Amarone does not.
Try with: Ragu alla bolognese · Lasagna · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Agnello Ragu Lucano · More pairings →
A dense red needs a big plate. Venison and roast beef have the weight and savoury depth to stand up to Murari's plum, chocolate and 15% alcohol. The wine's dried-fruit richness fits the gamey sweetness of venison especially well, which is why Amarone is the Veneto's winter red.
Try with: Venison Stew · Sunday Roast Beef · Roast Lamb with Mint Sauce · Beef wellington · More pairings →
Salt and fat in an aged cheese make the wine taste sweeter and softer, and the cheese tastes less sharp. Murari's prune and chocolate notes do the job a sweet Recioto della Valpolicella would, but dry. Gorgonzola is the classic Veneto match for a Corvina-based Amarone.
Try with: Blue cheese · Cheese board · Strong cheddar cheese · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau
The leather and cocoa notes in this Amarone meet the earthiness of porcini and truffle, so the flavours join rather than compete. Polenta soaks up the wine's richness the way it soaks up a sauce. A lighter Valpolicella would get lost here; the 15% Murari does not.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Polenta alla Valdostana · Radicchio risotto · More pairings →
Charred fat and a salt crust on a steak soften what tannin Murari has and bring out its black cherry. Lamb's sweeter fat suits the wine's dried-fruit side. Keep the sauce simple: this Amarone della Valpolicella already brings chocolate and spice.
Try with: Fiorentina steak · Ribeye steak · Lamb chops · Rack of lamb · More pairings →
At 15% alcohol the wine makes chilli burn hotter, and hot spice flattens its fruit into jam. Light fish and raw seafood are crushed by this much weight and taste metallic against the tannin. For a green curry pick a crisp white such as a Lugana from Lake Garda, or a lightly sweet Moscato d'Asti.
Skip with: Green curry · Crispy chilli beef · Nigiri Sushi · Oysters · Steamed sea bass · Pairing guide →
No need. This is Sartori's entry Amarone, made to drink on release. The dense 2022 will hold to about 2032, so buy it for drinking, not for keeping.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.

£27.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2022, at Majestic, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · HighThe name on the label is a brand of Collis Heritage, not the estate that grew the grapes. Casa Vinicola Sartori makes it. Collis Heritage, the company Casa Vinicola Sartori and Cantine Riondo formed in 2023, lists Murari among its brands as Murari 1899; Sartori makes the wine in Negrar.

Casa Vinicola Sartori, the Negrar house Pietro Sartori founded in 1898, which bottled its first Amarone in 1961. Murari is a brand, not an estate: Collis Heritage, the company Sartori and Cantine Riondo formed in 2023, lists it among its labels as Murari 1899.

Yes, with a caveat. 2022 was a drought year with heat from May to July, then heavy August rain that restarted ripening. The grapes were small and thick-skinned and dried cleanly, and early tastings point to dense, generous Amarones with alcohol to match, though the year's rating is still provisional. The year suits Amarone better than light Valpolicella.
Drink it between 2025 and 2032. It is made to drink young, so there is no need to wait. Keep it lying down, cool and dark, under its natural cork.
Corvina leads. The Amarone rules put Corvina, alone or with Corvinone, at 45 to 95 per cent of the blend and Rondinella at 5 to 30. The owner publishes no blend for this label, so the exact split is not known.
