An approachable blend of 75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella with 5% Rossignola and Negrara, the Cesari 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico comes in a frosted bottle with a cream-colored label. It offers a compact and bright quality, although tones of scorched earth and black olive do emerge with time to remind you of the hot 2017 growing season. This is a full-bodied wine, and the fruit remains quite lively despite the 15% alcohol content and the appassimento process. This is a large release of 280,000 bottles.
