Score: ✧✧✧ |
This Amarone shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas
which start with hints of plum jam, blackberry and black cherry followed
by aromas of licorice, tobacco, vanilla, dried violet and hints of
cinnamon. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
good tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of plum jam,
blackberry and black cherry. This Amarone ages for 18 months in cask
followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
