Nice Amarone. Pretty dry, but opened up nicely to herbal and red fruit flavors, and velvety feel.

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens up with an inviting yet somewhat understated mix of peppery florals, cherry liquor, plums and sage. Here I’m finding silky textures offset by tart wild berry fruits, salty minerals and brisk acids in an expression that is much more savory than sweet. A coating of fine tannins lingers, along with a note of baker’s chocolate. I have to give Farina credit for creating such a versatile and balanced expression of Amarone.

Rich, round, pepper on the nose and finish.

I can't remember the last Amarone I drank. This had much brighter and fresher fruit than I would normally attribute to the style, with almost no raisination present. If I could find more Amarone like this, I would probably drink more Amarone.
