Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of plum, black cherry and blackberry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, mace and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum. This Amarone ages for about 3 years in cask followed by 6 months of aging in bottle.
