Decent drop of Val, the hearty bouquet doesn't bely the depth of body and concentration. β 11 years ago

The 2010 Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a stunning and seamless blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta that have been air-dried for 3-4 months, or until the grapes lose 40% of their volume. Voluptuous notes of incense, fresh road tar, figs, blackberry reduction and cedar waft from the glass. The palate echoes the noseβthere is depth and richness equally matched by a rather nervy cord of mineral-laden acidity wrapped in dusty tannins. An excellent long finish dusted in cocoa powder and sweet tobacco. 15.3% ABV | Sample β 10 years ago
