Roccolo Grassi
Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
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)
