With 11 years of careful cellar aging, this sophisticated Amarone shows fine texture and polished tones of wet river stone, cola, licorice, savory spice and dried fruit. Barbecue sauce and teriyaki deliver soft sweetness to the close.

The standout feature of this handsome Amarone is the softness of its texture and smoothness of its supple finish. Along the way, however, you will be treated to sweet red-fruit aromas of cassis and blackberry with loads of exotic spice.

Dark coffee, roasted espresso bean, vanilla and cured meat are backed by sweeter tones of ripe cherry and blackberry jelly. This is a soft, sweet Amarone with chewy tannins that fuel a long, mocha-rich finish.

Farina’s sweet-smelling Amarone spends time in large oak casks for additional aromas of spice, leather and toasted walnut. At the core are bright fruit tones of blackberry, cassis and lingering cherry cola that add flavorful accents to what is a smooth and silky mouthfeel overall.

This wine is a bit strange, especially on the nose where it yields too generous notes of cocoa butter, sun tanning lotion, butterscotch, cherry and sweet vanilla. The nose is definitely sweet, bordering on cloying, and tight tannins will need time to soften.
