This is as close as I get to Amarone. I love Sfursat. Nose is raisin inflected mid season cherries. Wet earth, tar and roses. Not a trace of heat at 16% either. Really beautiful nose. Palate is nimble and elegant and super pure. Great finely woven tannins and sapid mid season cherry fruit. Some heat on the palate is to be expected. Let’s see how air deals with this. Lovely wine.

This is a Sforzata. Delicious, rich, very fruity.
