The 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella is surprisingly fresh and floral, with dusty cherry and plum complemented by mint and tobacco leaves. This is a suave and sexy style, as silken textures give way to fleshy ripe red and black fruits, with cocoa and autumnal spices resonating throughout. The 2015 is potent yet remarkably fresh and showy. It stains the palate in concentration and, while structured, it is simply delicious today. A minute goes by, and sweet herbs and violet candies still remain. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)

This is an excellent Amarone. Huge wine but balanced because of the retained acidity. Dried fig, black cherry, blackberry, earth, herbal green notes too.

Big ass amarone for my father. 16.5% on the bottle.

Must have for my cellar. A perfect example of Amarone - chocolate, leather, and luscious dark fruit that avoids raisin character. Love it!

Deep and incredibly extracted. This has the type of intensity reminiscent of a recioto. Fig paste, dark chocolate, black cherry cordial, and violet potpourri.

This is a Valpolicella blend without Molinara but with some Croatina. Grapes come from volcanic soils of San Briccio Cru, near Mezzane. Aged in French barriques, dry, long finish and a long life to live for.

I fin form. Bra syra och elegant. Drag av russin och katrinplommon utan att bli kvalmig. Inget alkoholgenomslag
