Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2017

Brief notes at a good Italian restaurant in Sanctuary Cove. We don’t often drink Amarone but we love it when we do. Rich and supple, blackberry like liquid Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. Touch of liquorice. An excellent match with Beef Ragu with Pappardelle pasta. — 6 months ago

At a tasting tonight where the '18 was poured, green on the nose but the palate was textbook. Nice, but didn't but any

We enjoyed the 2017 but as I said in the description we don’t drink a lot of Amarone. I have some big guns in the cellar which are approaching maturity.

Real nice, dense, Sangiovese! Lite on funk but full on flavor. Should be in the Italian rotation if available at BP. — 9 months ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2017

Sergio Zenato & wife Carla produced quality wines from indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana, and passed down through generations. Blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta & Croatina. Medium Ruby color with aromas of dried berry fruits, sweet & smoky notes with pleasant herb spice. On the palate flavors of ripe currants and blackberries with cacao, spice, oak & nutty tones. Fine tannins, long finish ending slightly creamy with cedar notes. Drinking well now, enjoy over next 4-5 years. — 8 months ago

From a Magnum bottle.
Developed nicely during the course of the evening. Flat at the beginning turning into a vivid smooth fruit forward experience. Brilliant Ruby color.
