Big, bold, and beautiful doesn't always mean brash. From high-altitude vineyards comes this masterclass in classic style, dried cherries and plums weave through tobacco leaf and fresh leather while Mediterranean herbs add lift. The palate brings serious depth but stays pristine, old-school winemaking showing why tradition matters. Fine tannins frame everything perfectly as dark chocolate and spice notes complete the picture. When power meets mountain air clarity. Drink Now - 2050

The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano seduces with a savory and darkly alluring blend of dried black cherries, mentholated herbs, clove and shavings of citrus-laced dark chocolate. It sweeps across the palate with textures of pure silk, showcasing stunning minerality as crisp red berry fruits cascade across a core of stimulating acidity. It finishes incredibly long, leaving a salty flourish and a bitter cocoa twang as grippy tannins frame the experience beautifully. The 2020 possesses an incredibly classic feel.

Intense, dark-fruited nose of plum skins, raisins, chocolate and wet stone character. Full and structured with a rich, succulent mid-palate and firm tannins. Structured and long, with juiciness and sappiness at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
