Manara 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

  1. $34
Manara’s Amarone would pair with pork roasted with dried plums, turkey stuffed with chestnuts or lamb and mint marinade. Those sweet and sour notes will help highlight the wine’s roasted apple, cherry and dark chocolate aromas.  — M.L.  (12/1/2011)

Manara 2003 Postera Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

  1. $40
Following a generational change, Manara is another small producer who sparks buzz and renewal in Valpolicella. Made with carefully selected fruit, Postera is a confident, sassy wine with baked apple, root beer, rose petal, mineral notes and characteristic Amarone intensity.  — M.L.  (10/1/2007)

Manara 2003 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

  1. $34
Manara’s base Amarone is a slow, cautious wine that evolves to reveal apple-nut, chewy cherry and lavish dustings of chocolate powder. Less successful, however, is the mouthfeel: tight and firm but also slightly astringent. Any hard edges will surely diminish with time.  — M.L.  (10/1/2007)
