TASTING NOTE: Quite a complex Amarone for such a friendly price, this wine offers notes of dried fruit, roasted red pepper, fresh cherry, plum, fig and suggestions of bay leaf and violets. It's unapologetically big and burly with a velvety texture. Pair with osso buco, flavourful firm cheeses or dark chocolate. (Vintages panel, Oct. 2016) |
