The organic Speri 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano has a bright and fruit-driven bouquet with dark fruit, candied cherry and a sun-drenched aroma somewhere along the lines of rum cake or raisin. This Amarone offers good balance underlined by power (with a 15% alcohol content), fruit weight and concentration. Speri is a grounded winery that offers consistent quality year in and year out. That's true even in a hot and challenging vintage like 2017. Some 92,000 bottles were released.
