This Amarone opens with very mature and smoky aromas of bresaola, dried blackberry and currants. It imparts sweet, chewy tones in the mouth and offers loads of barbecue spice, cedar and mesquite wood. This wine would make an obvious pairing partner to marinated meat cooked on a charcoal grill.
This is a light and streamlined Ripasso that offers the elegance of Valpolicella with the power and intensity of this traditional school of winemaking. The wine delivers interesting aromas of black fruit, cola and resin but there is also a touch of green olive or caper at the back. It closes with sweet fruit flavors.
There is a modern touch of vanilla bean, chocolate and soft spice that comes on the heels of bright cherry and plum. You’ll also recognize tones of mesquite wood and cherry cola and this rubycolored Valpolicella Classico Superiore offers very good intensity with sour cherry flavors on the finish.
A sweet black cherry and wilted rose aroma, accompanied by a morbid spicing and delicate toasted tinges. In the mouth is rich and vigorous, very fruity, soft and also fresh, with a slightly tannin and vivid taste.
Big, lively and very intense, this powerful Amarone opens with a blast of blackberry, spice, vanilla, chocolate, leather and tobacco aromas. It shows sticky, extracted concentration in the mouth and ripe, succulent flavors of jammy fruit and cherry liqueur. It’s a huge wine from all points of view.
This is a thickly extracted Amarone with a black, inky appearance and powerful aromas of black fruit, exotic spice, bresaola, mesquite wood and cola. It’s almost too much of a good thing and the palate becomes overwhelmed by the wine's muscle, power and overall sweetness.
From a family-run, boutique winery, this well-aged expression of Valpolicella (from the excellent 2004 vintage) delivers tertiary aromas of soft spice, leather and dried tobacco. The fruit nuances are still there in the form of dried prunes and plums. The wine is sweet and jammy on the close with loads of overripe blackberry.
Shimmering ruby with faint garnet; an intense bouquet of liquorice, blackberry and dark tea; on the palate it is very supple, with sweet, fruity extract, soft and round, with an intense finale distinguished by ripe wild raspberry.
This is a masculine and austere Amarone with deep tones of blackberry, prune, black chocolate, clove, cardamom and smoky touches of tar and resin. Drying mineral notes appear in the mouth and provide for a very pretty contrast against the wine's succulent, sweet fruit flavors.
