The 2006 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Famiglia Pasqua celebrates the 90th anniversary of this family-run winery (1925-2015). This is a monumental effort that shows enormous power and determination on all the senses, from the nose to the mouth. The bouquet opens to evolved notes of barbecue spice, dried blackberry, espresso bean and saddle leather. This is a dark and sophisticated expression that would pair with sharp cheese or succulent cuts of red meat. This aged Amarone should hold forward for the next ten years. Quantities are limited with just 1925 bottles produced.
