Campolongo di Torbe Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
A lot like the Costasera but more elegant in every way. Same rich fruit on the nose, but cleaner, more pure. The high alcohol is clearly noticeable on the nose. On the palate it is super rich and fruity. There is a lot of sweetness but nothing that bothers me. Really tightly packed fruit - cherries, currant, blackberries. Tasty!

MASSIVE! I'd have it next(if I'm lucky) after dinner by itself or with mature cheeses.
Tough to pair with food, unless with some game with prunes etc.....

Fairly closed nose, with mushroom, tea, and licorice and sweet cherries lurking within. Quite sweet on palate, but full and lush, texturally seductive, and finely made. Not a great buy for $100 though a leader of its kind. 2007 vintage.

Väldigt olikt all annan amarone som jag tidigare druckit.

Apr 15th, 2022Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, currants, spice and tobacco. On the palate, dark cherry, raisin, prune, plum, tobacco, medium weight and silky smooth in the mouth. Long finish and surprisingly still strong tannins present.
