Amarone della Valpolicella Wines

Sort By:

Dal Forno Romano 2003 Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Cellar Selection

Price $470

Monte Lodoletta Amarone is an exercise in extraction. The wine is absolutely black. Aromas are concentrated and intense and the wine is equally enormous in the mouth thanks to the extraction, oak, fruit and the hot climatic conditions associated with this vintage. Drink after 2020. — M.L. (12/1/2009)

Dal Forno Romano 2004 Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Cellar Selection

Price $500

A landmark wine for the Valpolicella region, Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta is surely among the biggest, boldest and most concentrated red wines on the planet. Thanks to the appassimento process, extremely low yields and long oak aging, this Amarone takes intensity and richness to new extremes. The tannins are still astringent and tight, and the wine will absolutely… — M.L. (12/1/2011)

Dal Forno Romano 1999 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Cellar Selection

Price $459

Is this a bruiser or what? Opaque in color, with monster aromatics that run from tar and espresso to maple, violets, cumin and finely scented candle wax. Deep and intense as they come, with charcoal and menthol notes on top of primary blackberry and cassis. No other word besides "massive" describes it. Hugely tannic and weighing in at 17%; needs five to seven years… — W.E. (11/1/2005)

Cesari 2004 Bosan Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Price $106

Amarone Bosan is a terrifically impressive wine with beautiful tones of polished river stone, savory spice, plum cake, root beer and liquid smoke. Sweet cherry and blackberry flavors are folded within the wine’s rich texture and dense concentration. You’ll love it. — M.L. (12/1/2011)

Tenuta Sant'Antonio 2005 Campo dei Gigli Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Online Exclusive

Price $70

One of the best Amarones available, Campo dei Gigli is a powerhouse wine with loads of luscious berry intensity followed by a mixed box of Indian spice. Ground clove, cardamom and cinnamon all play a role in the beautiful bouquet and these aromas are matched by a succulent, rich mouthfeel. — M.L. (2/1/2011)

Cesari 2001 Bosan Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Cellar Selection

Price $85

Bosan is a sweet-smelling Amarone with vibrant aromas of blueberry and cherry followed by delicate floral nuances. The wine is direct and immediate with background aromas of red apple, vanilla and oak. It’s exceedingly smooth and ends with sweet fruit and soft tannins. An outstanding wine. — M.L. (12/1/2009)

Provolo 1994 Riserva Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Price $130

Great pleasure is derived from this wine’s elegant, aged tones. This is a graceful wine with ethereal notes of blue flower, dried berry, cedar, leather, mushroom and soy sauce. You’ll taste its delicate sweetness and its smooth, long-lasting finish. This is the kind of precious wine you’ll want to drink with good friends. — M.L. (12/1/2007)

Sartori 1991 Corte Brá Corvina (Amarone della Valpolicella)

Price $40

A superrich, very complex wine with aromas of plum liqueur, bacon and mint. On the palate it has that smoky, raisiny character that is the hallmark of fine Amarone. Sustained by a solid structure, good depth and a fine finish. — M.G. (5/1/1999)
