Corte Lenguin 2004 La Coeta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $61
La Coeta is a massive wine that will appeal to those who appreciate a heavy oak element and dense extraction. Either way, you’ll need to give this hearty Amarone a few more years to find balance. In the mouth, it sports dark fruit aromas and thick, chewy astringency.

Corte Lenguin 2003 La Coeta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $60
Here’s a winery founded at the start of the 1900s that has morphed over the decades to enthusiastically embrace modern use of oak. In fact, the wood here is almost too much of a good thing with carpentry and cedar notes that mask much of the cherry fruit. In the mouth, it has a chewy texture, smoke favors and a spice-driven finish.

Corte Lenguin 2007 La Coeta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $61
Amarone La Coeta opens with huge oak tones of spice and campfire that will definitely need a few more years of cellar aging before they soften. But this wood-heavy formula does work, given the hearty, thick nature of the wine itself.
