Venturini Massimino 2006 Campomasua Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Austere but elegant, powerful but refined, this beautiful Amarone speaks highly of Valpolicella tradition. The wine is packed tight with plump fruit notes, black currant, clove, licorice and cured beef. It feels sweet, chewy and succulent on the close. .

Venturini Massimino 2001 Campomasua Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $60
Here is a lively, buoyant wine that affords room for a wide array of aromatic nuances. Apple, almond, cherry cobbler and penetrating black tar are foreground notes with red fruit and sweet vanilla as soft background shadings. The intensity is as remarkable as its persistency.

Venturini Massimino 2005 Campomasua Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Campomasua is a very beautiful expression of Amarone with enormous richness and intensity. The wine is redolent of black fruit and spice and it follows through to the palate with soft tannins and a very polished mouthfeel.

Venturini Massimino 2004 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $50
This Amarone presents loads of sweet vanilla with chewy and thick extraction. It’s a modern wine—gorgeous through and through—with really delicious tones of fruit and sweet spice like nutmeg and cinnamon. It closes a tiny bit sour with oak-driven tannins that leave a lasting impression of spice on the palate.

Venturini Massimino 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $42
There’s a pretty nose, one that offers violets, vanilla, raisins and cigar tobacco. The palate runs over with cherry, blackberry, plum and chocolate, while it finishes deep and smooth, and in multiple layers. All in all, it’s plush yet firm, just as it should be.

- Online Exclusive
- $25
Here’s a well-evolved and sophisticated expression of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes (the traditional blend of most Valpolicella wines) that opens with intense aromas of barbecue spice, dark chocolate, prune, cola and cherry liqueur.

Venturini Massimino 2004 Semonte Alto Red (Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso)
- $25
Here’s an inky, thickly extracted wine with mineral tones of graphite and lead pencil backed by fruit marmalade, black cherry, pomegranate and Spanish cedar. The ripasso has drying, almost dusty tannins and a slightly sweet taste in the mouth.
