The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is darkly alluring, with a sweetly scented bouquet that blends medicinal cherries with sage, dried roses and baking chocolate. This is surprisingly juicy and lifted in feel, with zesty acidity motivating depths of ripe wild berry fruits as sweet spices collect toward the close. It finishes gently tannic, with a cranberry crunch that adds a lovely punctuation. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Grapes sourced from 2 vineyards, high altitude sandy souls in Vera d’Alba & Renesio Incisa cru in Canale. Originally called "Nebbiolo bianco" due to the shape of the bunch and the size of the berries similar to Nebbiolo, also known as white Barolo. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with honey notes. On the palate flavors of lemon, apple and herb character. Medium+ finish, lively acidity balance, ending with citrus and mineral character. Nice value! — 8 months ago

My favorite Amarone! Still very young and needs some time to reveal it’s deeper layers. OK now but I would hold these some additional years in the cellar — 6 months ago

So delicious! Yes, high octane at 15% ABV. Yet this wine is balanced. It has a medium ruby hue with medium(+), concentrated notes of rose, both ripe and dried black cherries, red plum, purple fig, dried prune, raisin, red licorice, wet stones, clove, and sweet tobacco. Acidity is medium(+) and tannins are medium, ripe, and smooth. — 5 months ago

Appropriately elevated level of concentration and complexity for the TB Riserva. The structure is slightly ill defined but everything is there in harmony. — 3 years ago
