Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Incredible drinking experience. My first Amarone. Smooth and pruney. Excellent with food (several types of pasta and sauces) and alone.

Not as full bodied as I would have expected, even after a couple of hours of decanting.

Blend of Corvina (60%), Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (10%). Dark ruby/purple color with a garnet rim. Ripe red and black fruit aromas with notes of herbs and spices. Flavors of ripe cooked black cherries, cocoa powder, roasted herbs, orange zest and a hint of pepper spice. Long and slightly sweet finish. Mild tannins and acidity. Velvety texture and quite bright. Thanks for sharing, Keith S!

No real notes. Slightly cooked and oxydized unfortunately. Interestingly enough though, the palate shows such acid drive and tannins that it is actually standing the test of oxydization just fine. The raisins, chocolate and pruney notes are nowhere to be smelled, but there's some strong, vivid life in the palate.

May 5th, 2024Blend of Corvina (60%), Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (10%). Deep ruby color with a garnet tinge. The nose and texture are quite “Pinot Noir-like” with aromas of earth, spices and herbs. The palate is ripe red cherry/berry focused with hints of cocoa, baking spices and fresh herbs. Touch of pepper on the finish. Fresh tasting and vibrant. Velvety tannins. Pretty restrained for an Amorone.
