"Odedi"

9.1

Dark ruby in color with a short purple rim.

Light nose of blueberries, dried figs, raisins, vanilla, sweet raspberries, tobacco, herbs, wood, earth, chocolates, coffee, vegetables, leather and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with plums, dark cherries, blueberries, wood, cloves, vanilla, spices, espresso, vegetables, earth, wet leaves, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with grippy tannins and tangy pomegranates.

This is a young Amarone. Still not fully balanced, but already enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

I would recommend to let it open for a couple of hours to show the complexity and the big tannins.

Needs 5 to 10 years of additional bottle time, to properly mature and tone down on the tannins.

A Blend of 50% Corvina Veronese, 30% Rondinella, 15% Corvinone and 5% Oseleta. Aged for 3 years in Slovenian oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

Beautiful #floral notes. Pronounced aroma of black berries, spices and #rosepetals notes. A wine of elegance and strength. Made in Valpolicella, using around 30% of #passito grapes, hence the name Arele, which apparently in Italy means the wooden rack for drying the grapes. The wine is made of mostly local grape varieties, including Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta, and a splash of Merlot. It tastes round, full body but elegant with bright acidity to support the wine, and long finish. Well made. — 10 years ago

Made with Corvina Veronese, Syrah, and Oseleta varietals, this bottle presents a full and juicy mouthwatering wine. Complex notes of bright red fruit are balanced with subtler hints of coffee bean, cocoa, and cayenne. It's a wonderful representation of the wines from Valpolicella and one that I'll be more than happy to age and revisit years from now. — 9 years ago

Made with Oseleta grapes which give the wine a unique character and complementing the Veronese grapes. Deep red with aromas of dark Berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate, this full body wine shows ripe jammy Berry fruits, a touch of and cacao with sweet vanilla spice. Fine smooth tannins, generous oak and well balanced. You can taste the dried grapes (dried for 2 months) on the long lingering finish. A great value. Tasting Sample. — 10 years ago

This culture also lives on in this “Selezione Antonio Castagnedi” Amarone. Formed of a blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 5% Croatina and 5% Oseleta grape varieties.
Sant’Antonio is a ruby red colour, with hints of garnet appearing towards the rim. Significant alcoholic legs mark out the 15% abv alcoholic content, with aromas of mixed cherries, prune and hints of raisin greeting the nose as this wine settles. — 12 years ago
