The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico pulls you close to the glass with its beguiling bouquet, mixing spicy tangerine and hints of animal musk, giving way to black cherries, rose and cedar spice box. It’s potent and elegant, yet elevated by bright acidity and a cool-toned core of saline-minerals. Sour cherry and exotic spices linger under an air of rosy florals with a chalk-like smoky note. This is only lightly structured and a total pleasure to taste today. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)

Medium Ruby with aromas of dried fruits and sweet herb spice. On the palate cherry, blackberry jam and licorice flavors. Full body, medium acidity and soft tannins, well balanced, long finish ending with pepper spice and warming alcohol. Drinks well now, recommend not to age further. Pair with a nice bowl of pasta.

I enjoyed this vintage much more than the last I had. Fruity with blackberry, and cassis, over tobacco and earthy notes. Lots of structure and perfect for food.
