An Amarone I was not familiar with and a very pleasant surprise. It's a terrific value for the price.

New to Amarone type wines... I was pleasantly surprised... although I'm seeing this might be a blend.
Hints of fruit, raspberry and fig, smooth on the palate, medium bodied... with a slightly dry finish. Very inviting wine. Can be easily drank on it's own. Will be buying again

Very good! Smooth, yet tart dark fruit at first. Mellows to leathery, silky tannins. Great wine for the price.
