Perhaps no Valpolicella Superiore deserves more than 9, but this is the best in this style that I have had. (I am not counting Dal Forno Romano or Quintarelli, which are really baby Amarones.) I drank this chilled with penne alla vodka, and it paired perfectly. This wine is light and fruity, but also has a rich cranberry flavor. A nice value for $30. — 3 years ago

I am learning to like these wines thanks to my friend Bruce Hughes. It needs fat and pepper to cut through the sweetness of the wine. That being said I can appreciate the quality of this wine. — 5 years ago

Valpolicelle and pork. Superb. Not quite up with the Quintarelli but very close. Great for the price. £15. — 8 years ago

Probably not my first choice a priori for a Mexican meal but it actually worked well with a nice Cochinita Pibil. Lush and full bodied with a layered texture and structure to it. Evidently there are Quintarelli ties here... — 8 years ago

Had this tasty Freisa from the classic Guiseppe Mascarello estate while at home with @Souvla roast pork and also some tasty porcini filled ravioli finished with black truffle butter. We feature this at Merchants of Beverage — 9 years ago

As per previous tasting note 107 weeks ago. Love these succulent lush savoury fruited Amarones. Priuney notes with dried raisin, milk chocolate, leather, red licorice, tobacco and a touch of cinnamon. On the full bodied palate quite sweet fruited with raisin and milk chocolate flavours finishing with soft largely resolved supple tannins. Good QPR for an Amarone. Nothing like the price of a Quintarelli. — 3 years ago

Given its history, its story, and its rarity, I wanted to LOVE this, but as lovely and delicious as it is, it doesn’t measure up to the best Sauternes. Don’t get me wrong — I would drink it all day long, just not on my dime. — 6 years ago

I love this bottle of olive oil for salads and dipping...I gave one to my dear friend Alec but I don't believe he ever opened it because he "never found a good enough recipe for it." Life is short...open your bottles ladies and gents...and do it with your friends...miss you AW. — 7 years ago

Nice, classic. No crazy length like Quintarelli but for the money very, very solid. — 8 years ago

Coming off the back of a Quintarelli this looked subdued. After the adjustment this had the most beautiful weightlessness followed by depth of tannins and pretty, elegant, tar, rose and Turkish delight nose! Too bad it was -0 years too young! — 8 years ago

Baby amarone with incredible freshness and elegance—winemaker cut his teeth at quintarelli so no surprise. Nose has ripe red cherries and a floral / herbal sensibility, flavors carry through to the palate with amazing concentration but not heavy or syrupy at all, with accents of licorice and cinnamon. 14.5% abv without a trace of heat. A joke at sub-$30 — 3 years ago

2010. A deft balance between Quintarelli elegant concentration and new generation drinkability. The longer it's open the more it reveals its traditional character. L'arco wines are sneaky in their complexity. — 8 years ago

The Amarone della Valpolicella at its best. Warm, elegant, drinkable. It reminds Quintarelli' Amarone, and it'a not for chance — 9 years ago
