The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico entices with mentholated freshness that gives way to balsamic-laced black cherries and shavings of dark chocolate. It is rich in style with velvety textures and depths of mineral-inflected red berry fruits, yet all energized by a core of zesty acidity as cedary spices swirl throughout. Energetic despite its sheer size, the 2019 leaves a resonance of tart blackberry and rosy inner florals that linger incredibly long.

An evolved wine full of earth, dried prunes, bay leaves and coffee grounds on the nose. Smooth and round on the palate, with a full body, a touch of sweetness, and ripe, velvety tannins balanced by long, refreshing acidity and a very savory overall profile. Drink or hold.
