The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico offers a terrific glimpse of the Nicolis house style that is bright, clean and contemporary all at once. This is a 25,000-bottle blend of 65% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 5% Molinara and 10% Croatina that sees three months of appassimento. This wine stands apart from its peers for the quality and the shiny brightness of its cherry, raspberry and dark currant aromas. That fruit is amply framed by spice, sweet almond, cola and candied fruit. It is a pleasure to recommend this wine thanks to its steady and balanced delivery.
