So I had the 2018 vintage last year with a veal cotelet this year it came with the braised beef and wow is that a combination! Both dish and wine lift eachother. Young but very powerful Amarone. Curious to find out how it will be somewhat older. And next…… on to Inter in the CL! Ama la! — 2 months ago
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. — 3 months ago

Remarkably fresh, the 2020 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso bursts from the glass with a mix of crushed cherries of mint, giving way to a cascade of violet florals. This is silky smooth and round, with juicy acidity and depths of crisp wild berry fruits underscored by tactile mineral tones. The 2020 cleans up beautifully—long and crunchy, with a coating of fine tannins that nicely frame the experience as rosy inner florals slowly fade. The Ripasso spends two weeks resting on the lees of an Amarone fermentation, followed by one year in concrete and one year in large-format neutral oak. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

I bought and drank a fair amount of Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre back in the late 1990s, and always enjoyed them. First time in the past 20 years, this seems a little softer and polished, a little lower ABV (13.5 vs. 14+ in earlier vintages), this is vinified using conventional fermentation as well as some ripasso fermentation (think Amarone drying grapes on straw mats), and has some very nice complexity and length, very nice!! — 2 days ago
