Allegrini 1993 Recioto Superiore Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
A wine style for mature adults. Enjoying an Amarone requires patience and understanding-you must let this wine open, preferably in a decanter. At the table, there is nothing better suited to game, mushrooms or strong cheeses. This might even be a value at $80.

Allegrini 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
Black as coal and a true powerhouse. The nose dishes out tons of bacon, chocolate, caramel and prune-like fruit. Then comes the regal but complex palate that is much like the liquid version of fruitcake: there’s liqueur, raisins and dark chocolate in abundance. A rich, smooth mouthfeel solidifies it as a dynamite wine. Cellar Selection.
