Compared to many other expensive wines, the 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Pegrandi is a great deal. You get the characteristic intensity of Amarone with its air-dried aromas of prune, dark berry and cassis. You also get loads of richness and soft extraction to support the boldness of the wine's distinctive flavor profile. The alcohol is nothing to sneeze at, clocking in at 16%. Pegrandi is 40% Corvina, 35% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella and 5% Molinara aged in traditional botte grande for 36 long months. Indeed, the reduced oak signature will appeal to those who appreciate a tighter, but powerful style of Amarone.
