Description and Reviews:
Amarone della Valpolicella is the most prestigious wine from the Verona area and one of the most important Italian reds. Carefully selected grapes are dried on cane mats for 3 - 4 months before a lengthy maceration and 5 - 8 years in oak casks. It is this process that makes Amarone wines extremely long-lived. cinnamon, candied apples, cloves, vanilla, liqourice, cherries - a port like smell - very ripe berry fruit - incredible! The taste is medium full body, a touch of sweetness, good acidity. The port like character is present in the taste. The tannins are played down - not too dry. Full broad attack leading to a voluptuous mid palate with the acid and toasted oak predominating at the very long finish. Loads of fruit perfectly integrated with the oak.
