Manara’s Amarone would pair with pork roasted with dried plums, turkey stuffed with chestnuts or lamb and mint marinade. Those sweet and sour notes will help highlight the wine’s roasted apple, cherry and dark chocolate aromas. ——M.L.(12/1/2011)—— 90

This is a recommended wine for those who love classic expressions of Amarone. The wine’s intensity is fueled by aromas of cherry, apple, spice and chocolate and it really comes alive in the mouth thanks to a long, fresh trail of cola and dried herbs.——M.L.(12/1/2008)—— 90

Following a generational change, Manara is another small producer who sparks buzz and renewal in Valpolicella. Made with carefully selected fruit, Postera is a confident, sassy wine with baked apple, root beer, rose petal, mineral notes and characteristic Amarone intensity.——M.L.(10/1/2007)—— 90
