Carlo Boscaini 1993 Ca' de Loi Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $52
Rich texture and extraction mark this full-bodied red. There are cherry, brown-sugar and chocolate flavors, along with a smoky note and a heady dose of alcohol. It stays in balance, though, and the whole thing comes together in a long, sweet finish.

Carlo Boscaini 2005 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Amarone San Giorgio has shown great improvement over the past few vintages and this expression is redolent of blackberry, spice, leather, mature cherry and Spanish cedar. There’s harmony and elegance here, followed by a big, chewy mouthfeel.

Carlo Boscaini 2003 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
Located at the foot of the town of San Giorgio in western Valpolicella, Boscaini’s top cru seems to have been affected by the hot vintage. Aromas include ripe cherry with strawberry comfiture, dried prune, raisin and finely etched mineral tones. It’s slightly lighter in color and concentration but slides like silk over the palate and is not cloying or too chewy.

Carlo Boscaini 2006 Zane Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This ripasso has distinctive elements of mature fruit, chopped herb, black stone and toasted oak. The wine is soft and plush in the mouth with a very pleasant and slight sweet cherry and menthol-like finish. Imported by Tuscany Import.

Carlo Boscaini 2008 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $33
Chewy and rich, this has opulent tones of ripe fruit, chocolate fudge, Indian spice, maple syrup and dark honey, with a pungent point of dried apple or lemon zest in the background. The finish is extracted and dense, showing a playful touch of sweetness.

Carlo Boscaini 2008 Zane Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
With its thick density and slightly off-dry flavors of raisin, cassis, honey and liquid smoke, this would pair with hearty country pâté or meat terrines. Its alcohol, mild tannins and fresh-fruit finish would also work with those fatty foods.

Carlo Boscaini 1996 Amarone Marano Corvina (Valpolicella)
- $35
Chocolate and prunes abound in this dark, rich version of Amarone. Straightforward and easy to drink, despite a trace of heat from the 15% alcohol. A solid introduction to the genre.

Carlo Boscaini 2004 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
Amarone San Giorgio offers aromas of cherry, spice and clove but doesn’t have the natural intensity of other wines from this vintage. It’s more neutral and shy from an aromatic point of view although the mouthfeel is vibrant and crisp.
