A slightly more accessible wine from a terrific vintage, the Cesari 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico has lifted or volatile aromas of dried cherry skin and red apple. This wine is released with an ample 280,000 frost-coated bottles produced. The blend is 75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% of two unknown grapes called Rossignola and Negrara. There is some heaviness to the bouquet with baked fruit and dark spice.

A harmonious red that's subtle and creamy at first but then offers a charming range of pureed cherry and fig cake, cured tobacco, smoky mineral, dark chocolate and spice notes that unfold and expand on the palate. Fine tannins firm the fresh, fragrant finish. Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Drink now through 2032. 25,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
