The 2014 Amarone della Valpolicella shows more cola and balsamic intensity than does the 2013, with more barbecue spice as well. In a blind tasting, I might say that this is the older wine, rather than the 2013. This weaker vintage sprinkles out plenty of garden herb and green olive. Of course, you still get the darkly concentrated Amarone dried fruit sensations of prune and raisin at its core. I think it would do well with some veal schnitzel. I like the fullness of the 2013 better when I tasted these wines together. Production here was smaller in this difficult vintage, with 90,000 bottles made.

Pretty violet and spice notes accent this rich red, set in an elegant frame, showing saturated flavors of black cherry coulis, herbes de Provence and fig cake layered with fine, dusty tannins. Drink now through 2025. 10,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Amarone della Valpolicella Select to Add

This is a genuine and direct interpretation of a classic wine that demonstrates the love and dedication that local vintners have for this tradition here in the home of Romeo and Juliette. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella manages to show power and determination without too many bells or whistles. It is an accessible and faithful expression that passes on sweet notes of barbecue along with a kiss of sweet tobacco. The blend is 30% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 30% Rondinella with a 10% mix of Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella, and it ages in large oak casks for up to 50 long months. I really appreciate the honesty of this wine. Some 120,000 bottles were made.

A bright, medium- to full-bodied version, with dusty tannins and juicy, well-knit acidity supporting a range of pureed cherry, fig cake, smoke and spice flavors. Offers a lingering, herbal finish.

The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella sees fruit sourced from various vineyard sites. The blend of fruit is Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella that all see up to four months of appassimento (air-drying in ventilated rooms). The wine offers Tedeschi's distinctive sweetness - a quality that I assign specifically to this producer - backed by a tight tannic structure. This Amarone promises a long aging future ahead.
