Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
This Amarone shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and
elegant aromas which start with hints of blackberry, black cherry and plum
followed by aromas of dried violet, blueberry, vanilla, licorice, tobacco,
pink pepper, cocoa, cinnamon, mace and hints of leather and enamel. The
mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however
balance by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is
very persistent with long flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry. A
very well made wine. This Amarone ages for 3 years in cask followed by at
least 6 months of aging in bottle.
