A very good, full bodied beast. Perfect expression of amarone.

Still kind of young, but has all the right Amarone characteristics.

Rum raisin on the nose. Medium bodied and medium tannins. Notes of raisins, tart cherry, leather, chocolate, and petrol.

Another stellar vintage of this consistently outstanding Amarone! Blend of Corvina (70%), Rondinella (20%) and Croatina (10%). Dark crimson/garnet color. Aromas of cedar, dark cherry, black pepper and vanilla. Pallet is not overly jammy. Cooked plums, Asian spices and toasted coconut on the pallet. Touch of mint on the beautifully rich finish. Tannins are present but the texture is smooth and silky. Full bodied but well balanced and elegant. Excellent! Christmas Eve 2022.

Cooked red fruit aromas and flavors. Syrupy, bit not in a bad way. Hints of violets, tobacco and baking spices. Smooth and easy drinker. Paired well with chocolate cake.

Very smooth on the palette, perfume bouquet with berries. Syrupy, almost port like finish. Hint of tobacco. Quite a lot going on here!

Heavy Amarone. Lingering finish. Can taste it 10 minutes later.
