Degani 2003 La Rosta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $56
This is a big, brawny, plush, “international” Amarone that sees 4 years of oak and delivers thick layers of espresso coffee, chocolate fudge, wood toast and honey nut. It has a chewy-viscous mouthfeel, rounded off by caressing spice flavors and very good length on the finish.

Degani 2008 La Rosta Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $56
Amarone can often be over the top in terms of intensity and density, but this expression from Degani shows moderate elegance instead. Cola, licorice, tobacco and fresh berry nuances give the wine a youthful, less austere personality without taking away from the overall complexity.
