The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico reveals terrific integrity and fine overall balance. Floral notes lead to dark berries, leather, licorice and spices in this round, sensual Amarone. The Classico is the estate's entry-level Amarone and as such it is pretty approachable, even at this young stage. The estate gives the Classico three years in cask. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. Readers will find much to admire in this set of new releases from Le Salette. This is an impressive showing from the Scamperle family.

Rounding off a killer trio from the 2007 vintage, Le Salette’s base Amarone shows impeccably high standards and aspirations. You’ll love the density and richness here, as well as those compelling tones of cherry, moist earth and black licorice. ——M.L.(12/1/2011)—— 91
