Made in a traditional style, this Amarone offers penetrating aromas of ripe cherry fruit, fig, dark plum backed by sweet accents of cherry wood and fragrant cedar. The wine has a dense, slightly sour core that balances out beautifully with its natural sweetness.

Arduini 2006 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive

This is a ripe, plush expression of Amarone (made with a traditional blend of local grapes before being air-dried for extra power and intensity) that delivers loads of jammy fruit followed by toasted nut, leather and moist pipe tobacco.

Arduini 2005 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and Oseleta grapes make up the formula for this rich and very velvety Amarone. There’s a very nice, smooth quality to this wine that is supported by bright berry and spice aromas.

Arduini 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $55
Made with a traditional blend of Corvina (60%), Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, this austere Amarone offers a brooding, masculine side with dark aromas of Indian spice, prune and currant. There's a chewy element to the mouthfeel that is backed by density and rich sweetness.

Arduini 2008 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $55
Lavish and opulent, this has ripe fruit and spice notes that are followed by tangy green peppercorn and rosemary accents. It shows a succulent spot of sweetness that drives the long and generous mouthfeel. Age this for 10 years, or drink it now.

Arduini 2003 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $34
This is a small producer with a grape grower past who built a new winery and started bottling just a few years ago. The 2003 vintage is ripe with strawberry preserves, cherry, maple syrup, crème caramel and light vanilla spice. It’s lively and spicy in the mouth and delivers determined intensity and length.

Arduini 2010 Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $26
This would pair perfectly with the sweet and savory qualities of a dish like Roman saltimbocca—veal scallops wrapped with prosciutto and sage. Black cherry, cassis, dark spice and tobacco flavors all play a part in the wine’s appeal.
