This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico shows an intense ruby red color
and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense,
clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of
blackberry, plum and black cherry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry,
vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, mace, leather and menthol. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by
alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is
persistent with flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry. This Amarone
della Valpolicella Classico ages for 36 months in cask followed by 12
months of aging in bottle. |

Bella, anche se non memorabile, interpretazione del territorio della Valpolicella. Forse manca un po' di corpo, ma comunque è una bevuta piacevole. Al naso cogli i sentori tipici dell'uva Corvina, ben in ordine e in fila, senza difetti o cedimenti. Forse è in bocca che uno si aspetterebbe qualcosa in più. Nel senso che non si trova la ricchezza di struttura di certi Amarone, e scivola un po' troppo in bocca, nonostante il buon nerbo e stoffa.
