Only 3,240 bottles were made of this special selection 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Marta Galli, a deeply concentrated and beautifully hearty wine that is oozing with dark fruit, smoke, tar and toasted spice. First produced in 1983, this blend of 50% Corvina, 20% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella and 10% other mixed grapes (those that are allowed in the appellation) sees 90 days of appassimento. It is fermented in stainless steel for 30 days and then transferred to tonneaux, where it ages for six years. The 16% alcohol content is strong but well integrated into the very thick fiber and volume of this full-bodied Amarone. Celebrate it with a nice osso buco and risotto Milanese.

An elegant red that offers creamy tannins set in a medium-bodied frame and flavors of mulled cherry, dried violet, cocoa powder and citrus. Lightly chewy on the subtle finish. Drink now through 2024. 50 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add

From the Negrar sub zone of Valpolicella, the 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Marta Galli is a dense and darkly saturated wine that puts a capital "A" on Amarone. Thick layers of blackberry preserves, liquid smoke, tar, Indian spice and rum cake together form a thickly endowed patchwork of aromas. In the mouth, this robust wine offers a friendly point of dark fruit sweetness with a good structure and long-lasting thickness.

Inviting flavors of sappy black cherry, date and mocha are well-knit with more traditional notes of forest floor, grilled herb and beef in this balanced Amarone. Silky in texture and juicy, with an expressive, spiced finish. Drink now through 2025. 800 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
