Tommasi
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Sold my first big boy at 6.5L! They split it between 10 people (and some for me and some others)👏🏼 so dark cherries, elegant prunes/dates, not much noticeable sugar or baking spices is my shtick with the rating, but it had faint cinnamon stick and nutmeg to go with the rich raisin aroma. 55% Corvina; wasn't far off from a 71 Pommard I tried recently so really old world colder climate pinot-esque was my vibe. This wine seemed fairly fresh and could still be drinkable for another 5-10 if you've got this size of bottle by chance
