Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little
transparency. The nose reveals personality with elegant, intense, clean
and refined aromas mainly of jams. There can be perceived good aromas of
black cherry jam, blackberry jam and plum jam followed by pleasing and
clean aromas of black cherry macerated in alcohol, cocoa, caramel,
leather, licorice, enamel, violet and vanilla. In mouth has a tannic
attack which is well balanced by alcohol, excellent correspondence to the
nose, intense flavors and full body. The finish is persistent with
pleasing and clean flavors of blackberry jam, black cherry jam and plum
jam. A very well made wine. Amarone Gioé is produced in limited quantities
and only in particularly favorable vintages and ages for 48 months in cask
and 8-12 months in bottle.
