The 2005 Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena Villa Arvedi features a more floral, bright expression of red fruit than the darker 2006. Notes of tobacco and licorice develop in the glass, adding further complexity. The perfumed style and mid-weight body lend themselves quite nicely to near-term drinking. This is a very pretty, feminine Amarone from Bertani. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
