From a hot and dry vintage, the Michele Castellani 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico I Castei Campo Casalin offers extra concentration and depth with accessible and intense aromas of dried fruit, fig and prune. Leather, spice and dried tobacco flesh out the finish of this textured and evolved red wine that shows some early signs of aging. Of these three wines by Michele Castellani, this 25,000-bottle blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a kiss of Molinara is the darkest and most concentrated. It ages in barrique for 30 months. The 15.5% alcohol is neatly buried within the wine's thick texture.

The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico I Castei Campo Casalin offers a robust and dense expression from one of the best vintages in the Veneto in recent memory. The wine opens to brooding dark fruit and robust flavors of black fruit, dried figs, berries, spice and barbecue smoke. Like the other Valpolicella wines from Michele Castellani, the field blend here is 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara, and the grapes see three months of dehydration in a specially ventilated room. After fermentation is complete, the aging process takes the wine through both barrique and botte grande for two years. The wine is almost dry on the finish, and the alcohol is contained at 15.5%. Open it with a rosemary-roasted tenderloin and zucchini. Some 15,000 bottles were produced.

This tightly knit version wraps a core of firm, fine-grained tannins in finely woven layers of dried strawberry, prune, cured tobacco and star anise flavors.

Best from 2020 through 2030. 800 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
