Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Classification

Gentleness

A very hot summer.

Tasting Notes

A meaty, gamey nose yields to a gentle, mellow palate. Elegiac, deliquescent fruit; all autumnal introspection and melancholy. Lingering mellow perfume with enough attack on the finish to remind you that this wine is not drifting quietly into old age. A "vino da meditazione". — MW Nick Jackson

Master of wine

An iconic vintage that produced an harmonious, gentle, lively, perfectly balanced wine.

Style

Gentleness

These are subtle wines, resolved, at ease, and with a relaxed charm. They are easy to drink, calming and satisfying.
