Brigaldara 2007 Case Vecie Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
One of the standout Amarones from the lovely 2007 vintage, Case Vecie is opulent, rich and impressive in terms of intensity and complexity. It opens with dark, inky concentration and releases a long line of black cherry, spice and soft tobacco flavors. Drink after 2015.

Brigaldara 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $55
You can’t help but fall in love with Brigaldara’s delicious Amarone, especially if you love bold, dense wines. The aromas roll out slowly and with care, giving space to elements of cola, red cherry, blackberry, drying mineral and dark teriyaki sauce.

Brigaldara 2003 Case Vecie Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)
- $60
You can tell this is a blockbuster Valpolicella blend just by looking at it. Dense concentration and generous complexity set a somber mood, followed by smoked bacon, beet root, honey, maple syrup, prune and dried fig. In general this is a broad, horizontal wine (no thorny spikes here) with a silky-smooth finish.

Brigaldara 2005 Case Vecie Red (Amarone della Valpolicella)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Although this hearty Amarone delivers a whopping 17% alcohol, the heat and power is well integrated within the wine’s juicy berry fiber and spicy aromas of clove and pepper. Pair this wine with thick pasta and creamy blue cheese sauce.

Elegant and tight with a bright cherry bouquet, this well-integrated Amarone shows nice balance between its ripe fruit flavors and its natural acidity. In fact, this is a food-friendly option that would pair with spicy pork or beef and broccoli.

Brigaldara 2007 Il Vegro Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)

Brigaldara 2000 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $65
Two of our reviewers zeroed in on the wine’s volatility, noting apple skin and nail polish aromas. But our third sampler found sweet, almondy scents and easygoing cherry and plum characteristics. A wine of no consensus: two-thirds of the camp found it lean and just acceptable; the other third liked it significantly more.
