Great amarone. Classic, but a modernized version. Super complex, and multi-layered. Does not feel so overpowering, as some other amarone. It drank easier, without sacrificing the body. — 7 years ago

Sweet, "chewy", tannic; evolutionary on the palate. — 9 years ago
This red wine is obtained by a natural drying process after harvest. Thanks to this unique process the grapes develop an extremely intense and complex flavor and gives the Albertoni great strength and structure — 9 years ago
French oak. Smells like my grandma's toaster and she stuck a mixed berry Jane in and it was burnt. High acid, medium heavy body, bold oak that still gives you that kinda low sugar berry pie that's been in the oven for a bit longer than needed with muted fruit and a meatier kinda body. Fun wine. But get it with some food. — 9 years ago
A classic Amarone. Soft tannins, a hint of oak. A sweet bouquet. Very jammy. — 10 years ago

BlackBerry. Tannic. Fully flavored with solid 14% alcohol content. Strong, long lasting aroma and flavor. A vibrant, and satisfying Sangiovese. Would stand up well to spicy foods, or heavily flavored meat. — 7 years ago
A really interesting white wine! Very fruity and somewhat acidic but still carries the tannins of a Nebbiolo. Held up nicely against a pasta with pumpkin sage cream sauce. Would love to have again! — 8 years ago

Beware the Amarone. Severely addictive. Starts off amazing and becomes something otherworldly after several hours. Open early and drink slowly. Give it time. See what happens. — 9 years ago

17.5 maybe my best Amarone. Deep, full, long, soft but enough acidity. Had half the bottle 2 weeks ago, vacuumed, went abroad, back today and it has held up brilliantly. Note: 16% — 6 years ago
