This is a genuine and direct interpretation of a classic wine that demonstrates the love and dedication that local vintners have for this tradition here in the home of Romeo and Juliette. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella manages to show power and determination without too many bells or whistles. It is an accessible and faithful expression that passes on sweet notes of barbecue along with a kiss of sweet tobacco. The blend is 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella with a 10% mix of Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella, and it ages in large oak casks for up to 50 long months. I really appreciate the honesty of this wine. Some 120,000 bottles were made.

Pretty violet and spice notes accent this rich red, set in an elegant frame, showing saturated flavors of black cherry coulis, herbes de Provence and fig cake layered with fine, dusty tannins. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Select to Add
