This doles out multiple layers of cinnamon, red cherry, vanilla, blackberry, espresso and tobacco flavors. It’s modern, chewy and bright, with slightly sweet flavors that would pair with pork and roasted fennel or steak with a creamy mushroom sauce.

Clove, cinnamon, prune and aromas of cured beef or smoked ham open this densely extracted Amarone. The mouthfeel is sweet, textured and chewy and this is definitely one of those “big boy” wines that rewards loads of intensity and charm to those who appreciate a bold style.

Campo Leòn has herbal or green aromas that are unusual in Amarone. Those leafy elements are backed by ripe fruit, spice and toasted almond. It’s round and full on the close with lingering berry flavors.

Thick, chewy and succulent, this is a bold, full-bodied red wine with intense aromas of black fruit and Indian spice box. This wine will appeal to those who enjoy loads of heft, muscle and personality in their Amarone.

Campo Leòn is a jammy, chewy wine with raw notes of black cherry, Indian spice, cedar wood and melted chocolate. It’s thick, syrupy and it’s hard to imagine a balanced food pairing outside succulent red meat.

Definitely a big wine, this vineyard-designated Valpolicella has a dark garnet color and thick aromas of ripe fruit, spice and tobacco. The finish is long and smooth.

This wine is so thick and generous, a successful pairing with delicate food seems all but unlikely. Ripe fruit, steak sauce and root beer come to mind but there is also an earthy side that recalls wild mushroom and dried herb. It offers very ripe flavors and bitter tannins on the close. Imported by Jan D’Amore Wines.

Campo Prognài is a gracefully oak-aged Valpolicella Superiore that shows surprising density and persistency with lively aromas of cherry, blackberry, toasted almond and exotic spice. Pair this wine with roasted chicken or meatloaf.
