This well-meshed and stylish red is fresh and focused, displaying dense, fine-grained tannins enmeshed with a pure beam of ripe black currant and black plum fruit. Fragrant, this shows accents of cured tobacco, loamy earth, paprika, anise, cocoa powder and graphite. There's polish and integration, and with decanting, this offers enjoyment today; but there's also a sense of tension and firm structure that will provide a long life ahead. Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella. Best from 2029 through 2041. 1,186 cases made, 200 cases imported.

Decidedly rich, the 2016 Amarone Classico Mazzano opens with masses of cherry and plum sauce, sweet sage and pine shavings. It’s velvety in texture, with saturating depths of tart wild berry fruit and citrus tones that add tension, as well as notes of cocoa and clove. Edgy tannins pinch at the cheeks as the 2016 finishes with dramatic length and a bitter blackberry tinge. While powerful and complex, the 2016 is also savory and would be welcome at the dinner table.
