Le Salette 2003 Pergole Vece Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $118
This first-rate Amarone by Franco Scamperle earns an A for typicity and intensity. The aromas are enticing and pristine, with nuances of forest berry, red apple, chocolate, espresso, resin, chopped herbs and cherry pie. It boasts a lively ruby color, spice-driven flavors (the wine ages three years in barrique) and excellent persistence in the mouth.

Le Salette 2008 Pergole Vece Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $132
The fruit-driven- intensity and general youthfulness of this Amarone promise a very long future. It’s well-built and bold, with a rich, chewy mouthfeel and lively aromas of leather, spice, plum, dark fruit and tobacco. It goes down beautifully, leaving a long endnote of divine chocolate fudge.

Le Salette 1998 Pergole Vece Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $115
Here’s a spicy, brooding beauty, one that could use a few years before it’s at its best. Aromas of pepper, earth, mushroom and spiced cherries are interesting and inviting. We also liked the explosive flavors of dried cherries, blackberries, chocolate and vanilla. Some tannins add grip. Cellar Selection.

Le Salette 2003 La Marega Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $67
Le Salette, run by a cheerful husband-and-wife team, hits all the right marks. What makes this wine special is its vibrant, tonic personality backed by brilliant ruby coloring, bright cherry-apple aromas and a polished, streamlined finish, achieved by 10% Sangiovese. It’s a benchmark Amarone and one that grooves seamlessly with meat, risotto and cheese based pasta.

Le Salette 2007 La Marega Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $75
La Marega is a knockout Amarone from an excellent vintage that shows impressive intensity and clarity in terms of its pristine cherry, cola, licorice and black pepper aromas. This year, La Marega steals the show from Pergola Vece. Drink now or age many more years to come.
