Bertani’s 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena Villa Arvedi is a dark wine with a promising bouquet that doesn’t seem to find the continuity or complexity on the palate I had hoped for in this vintage. Still, this is a pretty, impeccably balanced fruit-driven Amarone to enjoy over the next few years. Sweet spices, earthiness and dark cherries linger on the elegant close. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642
