Graziano Prà
Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
I know that Prà is better known for their whites, but this 12 year old red is drinking really well. Light and restrained, but with a lot of mineral character, tobacco, and blackberry. Reminds me of Beaujolais.

Aug 25th, 2019In Tivat Montenegro on the dock. Drier than average Amarone—less jam. Little extra mineral.

Jun 25th, 2019Nose: subtle yet quite complex wine: less sweet and more smoky than mostamarone, hint of caramelised wood, dark chocholate, black fruit, liquorice, minerality.
Palate:sour cherries, hints of eucalyptus, gooseberry, slightly herbal. Loads of body and alcohol (massive 16.5%), but still good in tannins
to support the flavours; warm and good length. Overall quite complex and richness.
