Carlo Boscaini 2005 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Amarone San Giorgio has shown great improvement over the past few vintages and this expression is redolent of blackberry, spice, leather, mature cherry and Spanish cedar. There’s harmony and elegance here, followed by a big, chewy mouthfeel.

Carlo Boscaini 2003 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
Located at the foot of the town of San Giorgio in western Valpolicella, Boscaini’s top cru seems to have been affected by the hot vintage. Aromas include ripe cherry with strawberry comfiture, dried prune, raisin and finely etched mineral tones. It’s slightly lighter in color and concentration but slides like silk over the palate and is not cloying or too chewy.

Carlo Boscaini 2004 San Giorgio Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
Amarone San Giorgio offers aromas of cherry, spice and clove but doesn’t have the natural intensity of other wines from this vintage. It’s more neutral and shy from an aromatic point of view although the mouthfeel is vibrant and crisp.

Carlo Boscaini 2007 La Preosa Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Here’s a simple and lean Ripasso that could pair with white beans and grilled sausage. There are bright fruit flavors here and enough acidity to cut through meat dishes, yet the wine is fundamentally easy and informal overall.
