Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Cocoa, cinnamon and clove come together with crushed plums and balsam herbs as the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico blossoms in the glass. This is silky and enveloping yet cool-toned in feel, with depths of dark red fruits nicely contrasted by a core of saline minerality. The 2018 finishes structured and long, tugging at the palate with grippy tannins as hints of Baker's chocolate and inner rose slowly fade. This is a vertical and racy edition of Allegrini Amarone, but it will require some time to come fully into focus. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)

Red fruit focused and reminiscent of a vintage port but spicy, interested in how this would taste aged

Loved this one. Had 2013 for Christmas 2018. Smooth fruits and tannins all the way through. Was a fabulous Christmas gift!
