This Amarone is an elegant dance of dried fruit and finesse. Fig and prune flavors gracefully intertwine with savory spice and earthy notes, striking a perfect balance on the palate. Despite its depth and complexity, the wine moves with an airy lightness, gliding across the palate with a delicate touch. Finesse takes center stage over power in this sophisticated and enchanting Amarone.

Sweetly seductive, the 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella wafts up with a dusting of confectionary spice and rosy florals, complemented by bright cherry-berry fruits. This is juicy in style, focused on ripeness yet with enough energy to balance. Zesty acidity propels its decadent wild fruit across the palate, finishing fresh and long. A bit of its heat shows through (15.5%) as minty herbal tones and hints of clove slowly fade. This is a fun Amarone that aims to please, but it loses a bit of harmony through the finish.
