Monte dall'Ora 2004 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $120
This is a gorgeous expression of Amarone with wide appeal and generous tones of cherry, blackberry, spice and cedar wood. It has a sharp, polished feel in the mouth that in no way diminishes its power and general intensity. This is an excellent example of the beauty and appeal of this traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella.

Monte dall'Ora 2006 Sant’Ulderico Red (Recioto della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Closed with a bright red wax capsule, Sant’Ulderico is an oak-aged sweet red wine from Valpolicella that offers massively thick extraction and firm tannins that are successfully offset by sweet fleshiness. What really distinguishes this wine, however, is the gigantic thickness of its texture.

Monte dall'Ora 2004 Saustò Red (Valpolicella Ripasso Classico)
- $70
There’s an enticingly smoky element to this ripasso that recalls mesquite wood and church incense. But the wine also has a fragrant, almost floral side with soft, smooth tannins and vibrant cherry flavors.

Monte dall'Ora 2005 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $120
This is a focused, pristine Amarone that ends with firm tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. It is redolent of red cherry, coffee, road pavement, leather and licorice. You could imagine a successful pairing with soft osso buco cooked on the bone.

Monte dall'Ora 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $77
This plump, ruby-colored Amarone shows extreme clarity and sharpness thanks to its etched aromas of soya sauce, root beer, toasted cashew and blackberry jam. The best part is that it’s a totally drinkable wine without the cloying chewiness you sometimes get with appassimento.
