Medium ruby color. Medium+ intensity aromas and flavors of ripe dried red fruit (red cherry, red plum and dried cranberry) some black fruit (dark cherries) there are some herbal earth aromas and flavors of sagebrush and dust, dirt as well as a roasted pepper (reminds me of Carmènere) On the palate it is dry, medium acidity high alcohol and a medium+ velvet smooth tannin. Medium(+) body and medium+ finish. #valpolicella #amaronelover #amarone — 5 years ago
Vintage 2014 / I never forget my visit to the ‘Bure Alto’ vineyard, because I was impressed how high the vines were tied and grown. It’s an amazing site. This wine has a compelling smell: warm, spices, coffee, mocca and even chocolate. Smooth drinking with deer goulash and stewed bell pepper. #valpolicella #ripasso — 8 years ago

Very smooth medium bodied #valpolicella Yum. Thanks John! — 9 years ago
Cherries and almonds. Very fruity, almost jammy but not quite (thank goodness), with a fun almost tingly herbal finish, kinda like Jagermeister (in a good way). I like. #corvina #valpolicella #veneto #italy #dogsofdelectable — 10 years ago
As you all know one of the three#valpolicella grapes. #corvina this one is only 13% alcohol. It’s clean it’s aromatic. It’s lightly passified/dried and you can taste that soft tannin, and that balsamic beautiful texture and flavor that goes great with Italian food and charcuterie, and it only cost me two euros. Ridiculously cheap.  — 8 months ago
An excellent example of #valpolicella #classico #superiore it’s almost too good for the category and seems more like a #ripasso deep ruby color. Medium+ aromas and flavors of ripe strawberry, and red fruit (ripe red plums and red cherries) then there is a undertone of herbal (sage and sagebrush and thyme) secondary aromas and flavors of subtle oak (tobacco and cedar). — 5 years ago

Rim to rim dark, to black ruby. Big perfumed nose of lavender, jasmine, cherry blossom, black raisin, devil's food, blacktop, and pencil shaving with a sprinkling of sweet aquarium suggestions including algae and mixed hardwoods. This is sourced from the vines on the end of the rows, and dried on vine for a unique wine from a highest-quality Amarone producer. #Nicolis #aziendaagricolanicolis #Amarone #rosso #valpolicella #passito #italianwines #veneto — 9 years ago
