The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Campo Leòn serves up savory notes of tar and road pavement, eucalyptus leaf and then more balsam. All of the fruit in this blend (70% Corvina and Corvinone, 20% Rondinella and 10% Croatina with other minor grapes) dries for up to 120 days before being pressed and fermented. You'll find lovely nuances of rum cake and baking spice on the close, which is long and silky. Still, there is considerable power here that drives this wine forward over the palate with 16% alcohol. This wine is perfect for an elaborate game dinner, especially pheasant with walnuts and truffles. Some 50,000 bottles were made.
