Rubinelli Vajol 2008 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $70
Powerful and muscular, this would pair with succulent red meat or piquant cheese. The mouthfeel is velvety and supple, and the bouquet is redolent of cooked berry, prune, dried bay leaf, humus, toasted coffee bean and licorice.

Rubinelli Vajol 2006 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $58
This is a tame Amarone that delivers intensity but not too much heft or density, and that ultimately makes this a very food-friendly option. It drinks very well with loads of berry freshness and a soft, velvety finish.

Rubinelli Vajol 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $62
This ruby-colored Amarone offers medium intensity and sightly disjointed aromas of spice, leather and candied fruit. The nicest element, however, is the crisp cherry freshness that peeps through on the finish.

Rubinelli Vajol 2007 Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore)
- $31
There is nice heft and density in the mouth and the wine offers generous cherry and blueberry tones in the mouth. This ripe and earthy smelling wine would make a great companion to tortellini in chicken broth and Parmigiano cheese or steak with creamy mushroom sauce.

Rubinelli Vajol 2009 Red (Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
On the hot and alcoholic side, this powerful wine has the muscle to cut through cheeses, rich cream sauces or fatty stewed beef. The touch of crisp acidity, as well as the wine’s ripe, berry-scented bouquet also make it an appropriate pairing partner to those foods.
