Cecilia Beretta
Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Trader Joe's, $20
Dark strong ruby color. Mellow ripe fruit with a slightly sweet licorice-like spice on the nose, very little astringency. Fairly typical appassimento type flavor, rich dried/jammy fruit, starts sweet then finishes with a bit of dry tannins. Has a slight savory sweetness beyond the fruit akin to vanilla or licorice. Quite enjoyable, worth the couple dollars over my usual budget.

Medium ruby in color; hibiscus, dried herbs, and graphite on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like cherries, pomegranates, eucalyptus, and a hint of cinnamon with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok, but I really like it.
