The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Monte Sant'Urbano is a full-bodied red wine that offers a deep range of air-dried aromatic characteristics with prune, raisin, dark spice and exotic cedar wood or mesquite. The house blend at Speri sees Corvina Veronese and Corvinone in a leading role, with 29% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. The grapes are set aside in the fruttaio to dry for over 100 days, resulting in a 15% alcohol content. Overall, this expression from a slightly cooler vintage shows great balance with a touch of freshness that cuts though the texture and sweet softness of the finish. Some 90,000 bottles were made.

An elegant, medium- to full-bodied version, featuring refined tannins and a tarry underpinning to the flavors of strawberry preserves, fig cake and cured tobacco. Balanced, with a spiced, lingering finish. Drink now through 2025. 8,300 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
