From a vineyard site in Fumane, one of the five villages in the Classico subzone of the appellation with a mix of volcanic soils, comes this richly concentrated red wine from a terrific vintage. The organic Speri 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano is fleshed out and generous, even at this relatively young stage in its evolution. This hearty and open-knit wine offers dark cherry fruit and black plum, with spice, tarry spice and campfire ash. There's nothing not to love about this bright but full-bodied Amarone made with 70% Corvina and Corvinone, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara, all aged in botte and tonneaux. Production is an ample 100,000 bottles.

A well-knit, medium- to full-bodied red, with light, taut tannins married to bright flavors of wild cherry, tangerine peel, star anise and brambly herb and underbrush, ending with a racy finish. Drink now through 2031. 8,300 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
